RELEVANCY IN CHANGING TIMES

their local communities, and they
spend more time volunteering
than nonaffiliated students.

than anyone else.

greater gains in learning
and graduate at higher
rates than their peers.
83% of members say
their confidence in their
leadership skills increased

A
mid the ongoing negative news stories about fraternities
and sororities, it's natural to ask the question "Are Greek
organizations as relevant today as they were when I was a
student?" Despite these headlines, fraternities continue to play
a vital role in fostering positive mental health, accelerating
student success, and creating deep loyalty and connection to
the collegiate experience. Perhaps the biggest attribute of a
fraternity is that it teaches us values one simply cannot learn
in a classroom. By further investing in the environment our
Chapter calls home, we can ensure the Beta Mu house
remains a space for brothers to become principled men.
THE FRATERNITY EXPERIENCE IS ALIVE AND WELL AT PURDUE UNIVERSITY
