7) This is an important article because it looks into how members of the Greek community develop their cognitive skills. These are important because it further helps Greek students develop. It further proves a point that joining the Greek community has a positive impact on students. The reason Greek students are able to develop these skills are due to different experiences that they have unlike Non-Greeks that lacks these. Other then cognitive skills this article also discusses other growth that Greek students have and the positive impacts that it provides for them.
