University students engage in fraternities and sororities to pursue social networking, leadership development, philanthropy, and campus involvement. Greek life provides housing, mentorship, service activities, and events that complement academic pursuits while fostering community and tradition on campus.
Elaine Flannagan, a Scott City senior majoring in secondary education at Kansas University, notes Greek houses provide better study conditions than dormitories. Scholarship is emphasized as the top activity for fraternity and sorority members. Membership offers social and cultural outlets and a close group to know well.
Vinita Fishel a Kansas University senior in elementary education and Delta Gamma member discusses sorority benefits. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Vinton Fishel, now live in Denver. She notes sorority life builds friendships, teamwork, service projects, and scholarship, citing travel and meeting other members abroad.
Nate Sims of Pasadena California a KU senior majoring in physical therapy and Alpha Phi Alpha member argues the KU Inter-Fraternity Council seeks new policies including cooperative food purchasing and greater influence in the All Student Council. He advocates integration and a trial living period for pledges in Greek houses with diverse racial or religious backgrounds to reduce prejudice.
Judith Fuller, a 22 year old Coffeyville senior at Kansas University and Alpha Phi member, argues sorority living aids in social graces and study methods during the first two years. She notes benefits include academic encouragement and a shared friend network, but warns of time spent on social events and sacrifices outside the classroom.
David Berkowitz, a 24 year old Wichita native and first year KU law student, an independent, criticizes frats and sororities for creating class barriers in college. He argues Greeks enforce ideas from home rather than embracing free thought in a classless society.
