The "All-Greek Recruitment Guide " Online Click the link below to view Auburn University's recruitment guide, "The All-Greek Recruitment Guide." Why Should I Join a Fraternity? Scholarship All fraternities have academic requirements that encourage members to excel academically so that complete their degrees and go on to successful careers. These requirements must be met for someone to stay active in his fraternity. Every fraternity has resources and assistance available to help its members do all that they can inside and outside of the classroom. Leadership Membership in a Greek organization offers students many opportunities to develop their leadership potential. Greek organizations not only provide training in the principles of leadership, they are laboratories in which these principles can be tested. Each member is actively involved in decision-making processes, teaching and encouraging students to utilize their leadership talents in the chapters and on campus. Membership in a Greek organization offers students many opportunities to develop their leadership potential. Greek organizations not only provide training in the principles of leadership, they are laboratories in which these principles can be tested. Each member is actively involved in decision-making processes, teaching and encouraging students to utilize their leadership talents in the chapters and on campus. Greek organizations are essentially self-governing, self-running communities. Members have the opportunity to take on the responsibilities of running their chapters by chairing number of committees or holding a major offices within their chapters. Philanthropy The concerns of Greek men extend far beyond the confines of campus life. Community service and philanthropic activities are integral components of Greek Life at Auburn University. Fraternities sponsor a multitude of activities each year to earn money or donate time to their individual philanthropies. While the particular service or fundraising activity may vary among fraternities, the spirit of reaching out to help others in the community unites them. Such projects also help build moral character through the realization of the needs of people less fortunate. Brotherhood and Friendship There is no doubt that, from the beginning, one of the best things that a Greek organization has to offer is friendship. Fraternities provide an environment where new friendships are made that will last a lifetime. A word that often describes the friendship between fraternity members is “brotherhood”. A brotherhood is based on intangible, invisible principles. There is a common bond between members that is unique and very private. Being part of a fraternity is something that cannot be compared to anything else. To know of its existence is one thing, but to experience it is another. Networking Fraternities maintain active alumni relations, which affords many opportunities for career networking. This alumni interaction can lead to many different possibilities in the job search as an undergraduate and graduate. Events such as Homecoming, dinners, chapter anniversaries, and meetings foster alumni interactions, which can put members in contact with men in similar career paths. Alumni also often help to ease members' transitions to new cities or new parts of the country after graduation. Athletics Fraternities are actively involved in the Intramural Sports at Auburn University. In fact, fraternities have such strong participation in the intramural program that the university sets up fraternity leagues so that chapters are able to compete against each other in the spirit of Greek fun. Auburn University offers competition in a large number of sports including flag football, soccer, softball, basketball, volleyball and many more. Moral support is an important aspect of intramurals, and it is not unusual to see chapter members as spectators at non-fraternity intramural games where a fellow member is competing.
We encourage all male students to go through recruitment and to try to find a fraternity that will compliment them. War Eagle! |
