THE FRATERNITY
EXPERIENCE IS
MORE RELEVANT TO
TODAY'S COLLEGE
STUDENTS THAN
EVER BEFORE
Membership improves the
learning gains students make in
the classroom, and members are
more academically engaged than
their peers.
Members are more involved in
campus activities than other students,
and Greek organizations promote
both personal development and
the satisfaction they have in their
college experience.
Fraternities and sororities seek to
enhance inclusivity, and our members
actually report higher levels—than
non-affiliated students—of
interaction with people different
from themselves.
These benefits are even greater
for first-year students, as they join
fraternities and sororities and find
community and belonging. This leads
to stronger retention and higher
graduation rates among Greek
students than their peers.
As many college students experience
stress, loneliness and depression,
fraternities and sororities offer
critical connection and a sense
of community, and members report
higher levels of positive mental
health than their unaffiliated peers
because of it.
Recent research on fraternities and sorori-
ties demonstrates how positive the impact of the
Greek experience—and the AGR experience—is
for undergraduates today. Both inside and outside
the classroom, we are providing tangible value at
the most important time of growth in their lives.
