e Sorority Experience Is More Relevant to
Today's College Students than Ever Before
R
ecent research on fraternities and sororities demonstrates how positive the impact of the Greek experience—and the Alpha
Epsilon Phi 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
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 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.
