Members are more involved in campus activities than other students, and Greek organizations promote both personal development during and satisfaction in their college experience. Fraternities and sororities seek to enhance inclusivity, and our members actually report higher levels of interaction with people different from themselves compared to unaffiliated students. 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 sororities demonstrates how positive the impact of the Greek experience—and the Theta Xi 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. Research Proves You're Invited! Please join in on the monthly association call by contacting Sean Rudowsky '16 (A1673) for details at sjrudowsky@gmail.com. The annual meeting will begin virtually on April 23 and will cover reports. Dial-in details and time TBD. The meeting will resume in person on April 30 at 10:30 a.m at the chapter house and will include board and officer elections. Our 6294 activities will commence immediately thereafter. 2022 ANNUAL HOUSING CORPORATION MEETING
