The top indicator of graduation is quality of personal interactions and a supportive environment (National Survey of Student Engagement, 2019). Greek members show greater overall involvement and engagement on campus, in all student organizations, and in the classroom. They report stronger learning gains and satisfaction with the college experience (Pike, 2020). More than 80% of college students deal with anxiety, and more than 60% also feel socially isolated/lonely and depressed (JED Foundation, 2020). Greek-affiliated students report higher positive mental health scores and lower levels of depression and anxiety (Biddix, Assalone and Grace, 2020). Less than half of U.S. adults have "a great deal" of confidence in higher education. Concerns contributing to low confidence were perceived political agendas, poor institutional management, and lack of relevancy in career preparation (Gallup, 2017). Greek alumni exhibit higher emotional attachment to their alma mater (Gallup-Purdue, 2014). Nationally, about two-thirds of workers (66%) are not engaged and have suboptimal well-being (Gallup Workplace, 2020). Additionally, 43% of Greek members who work full time for an employer are engaged in the workplace, compared to 38% of all other graduates (Gallup-Purdue, 2014).
