Abstract
There have been multiple studies done on college students and the impact that joining the Greek community has on their development. Greek life exists at almost every major institution of higher education. The Greek community consists of millions of alumni and hundreds of thousand current undergraduate students. It is an enormous network of people that helps its members develop their skills and develop important leadership skills. Students in the Greek community are exposed to various social situations and leadership opportunities. This exposure allows them to develop their cognitive skills and gain valuable leadership experience that better prepares these students for life after school.
