The Greek life community is filled with hundreds of thousands of current members and alumni. Although Greek life has been around for over 200 years it still gets a bad reputation. Many common issues brought up with it are excessive drinking, drug use, sexual assault, racism, and poor academic performances. While yes this does happen occasionally there are so many other advantages and positive impacts that the Greek community provides. For starters Greek life provides countless hours of community service and raises millions of dollars in philanthropy. A large majority of Greek students perform community service on a weekly basis. They provide help to the surrounding community and have a positive impact on thousands yearly. That is just the start to the impact that Greek life has. It also allows young college students to have an opportunity to grow and hold leadership positions. This is very important for a young college student. Holding these positions give them a sense of responsibility and helps them become a better leader. These are all traits that employers are looking for when looking for new employees. Greek members achieve high level as academic success as well. Most presidents and CEOs of fortune 500 companies were once in Greek Life. The impact of Greek life could go on forever. It allows students to socialize with new people constantly and develop their social skills. Students in Greek life have been studied and when looked at further the students apart of the Greek Community score higher in many different areas compared to Non-Greeks. This includes academic success, campus involvement, and development of different skills. These are just a few examples but there are many more. Even though there is the occasional hiccup in the Greek community, its overall positive impact outweighs the negatives. . </span></div>

A very important idea brought up in one article is cognitive development. One article does is depth study on the impact that joining Greek life has on the development of student’s cognitive development. Cognitive development is an important aspect of college and joining Greek life can help develop these skills. Gary Pike did research into the development of Greek students cognitive abilities. He found that “</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Roboto; font-size: 10pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">"</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In the present research, involvement in a variety of curricular and co-curricular activities was directly related to gains in one dimension of cognitive development: growth in general abilitie</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">s</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">" (Pike 136</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">). </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Involvement in other groups on campus improves Greek student's abilities to further develop their general cognitive skills. </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Another very interesting thing I found was that Greek students have higher graduation rates, are more ready to work full time after graduation, and look into graduate school earlier than Non-Greek members. In research done by Wesley Routon and Jay Walker they found that </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">"Greek membership is found to increase the desire to pursue a graduate degree and increase the likelihood of graduating on time"</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> ((Routon and Walker 70). This is a large benefit that only Greek students really get to have. The reason for that being is due to the large alumni networks the have access too. They help better prepare the undergraduate members with their real world experience. They can also prepare them for interviews or even help them get a full time position. </span></div>

So far they have all looked into studies of students in the Greek community and Non-Greeks and compared the impact on joining Greek life. I found two very important cases that have discussed the impact on growth for Greek members. The two cases look at different areas of growth but both are equally important. As stated above the one case looks into the development of cognitive skills. The other article looks into the growth of leaderships. This another important case because it discusses how joining Greek life allows it members to increase their leadership experience. In another study by Routon and Walker they found that “Greek membership offers opportunities to take leadership roles within the organization, to speak publicly, and learn how to negotiate the group dynamics of working with other students in pursuit of goals and projects that non-Greeks may not be as encouraged to take. The dynamics within Greek organizations likely lead to these differentials” (Routon and Walker 618). Greek students are able to not only get involved in their organization but as well as all the organizations their individual schools have to offer. This allows them join other clubs and take leadership roles. Not only does this improve their leadership ability but it also helps them improve other skills. It helps them improve their public speaking and communication. Both of which are important skills to have in order to be successful further in life. Also gaining experience with working in a group is important. It relates back to what Pike found and how joining other groups improves students development of cognitive skills. </span></div>

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. </span></span><br />

7) This is a very valuable source because it gives me more benefits that Greek life has on its members. It further explains the skill developed while in Greek life. The uniqueness of Greek life is the fact that it allows its members to face many different experiences that most other students do not have the opportunity to face. These experiences allow its members to further develop their skills and form more open opinions. </div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Thesis: </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Joining Greek life is more than just joining a social club, it is a way for young students to develop there skill set and grow to become more successful in the future. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Research question:</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">What is the impact on development and growth on students who decide to go Greek?</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">In order to answer this questions I plan on using my sources to show how Greek students further develop their skills and are further set up for success in the future. I will be showing this by giving examples of specific skills that </span><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">students</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"> have developed when they joined Greek life. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">In an article by George Kuhn he tries to discuss the </span><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">negative</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"> influences that </span><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">students</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"> encounter by joining Greek life. He goes on to try and counter </span><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">the</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"> argument that </span><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">students</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"> develop and enhance their cognitive skills. He goes on to state how Greek </span><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">students</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"> are behind their non-Greek </span><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">students</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"> in cognitive development. He goes on to explain the biggest </span><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">deficit</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"> in </span><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">students</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"> is in critical thinking. He also tries to argue that Greek </span><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">students</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"> make smaller gains in </span><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">openness</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"> to diversity than their fellow non-Greek </span><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">students</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Although Kuhn may argue these points there is significant </span><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">evidence</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"> to refute his </span><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">argument</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">. It has been looked into multiple times and I have found multiple sources that disagree with Kuhn's </span><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">argument and provide significant evidence against him.</span></div>

They sampled over 103,000 undergraduate college students from 462 institutions of higher education. They look at these college students's opinions on things from legalization of marijuana to the belief that racial discrimination is no longer a problem in the United States. Further the look into self-perceived skill changes such as leadership abilities and interpersonal skills. It was found that Greek members of both genders are most likely to believe that racial discrimination is not a problem in our country. The most important part of this case is related to the skill changes that happen to Greek members while at school. Both male and female Greek members were reported to have larger gains in leadership abilities, interpersonal skills and public speaking. All of these skills are extremely important for people in the long run. The development of these specific skills allow students to grow and become successful. Being exposed to leadership positions as a young adult can help students grow and understand what it is like to be responsible and in charge of the well being of other people. Being a confident public speaker helps in performing presentations and can increase a students success in interviews. Being a good public speaker displays a sense of self confidence which is important for a young student. A large reason for Greek students to be able to develop these skills, has to do with the opportunities these students have to take leadership positions in their organization, to speak publicly, and learn how to negotiate the group dynamics of working with other students in pursuit
of goals and projects that non-Greeks may not be as encouraged to take. Along with this male members received a positive impact on skills related to getting along with individuals of different races and cultures, understanding community problems, and understanding national social problems compared to non-Greeks. Overall these are all very important skills gained by Greek members that further help them improves their skill set and help them find success in the future.

There is a lot of research out there that looks at the effect of Greek Life and its effects on the development of cognitive skills. In an article by Gary Pike and in another article by Wesley Routon and Jay Walker, both discuss the positive growth in skills from joining Greek Life. These two articles take an in depth look at cognitive skills and go on to show how joining Greek Life can develop these certain skills further.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12672858521206953539noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7010533145640641394.post-86233777713242356612017-04-24T14:40:00.000-07:002017-04-24T14:40:54.404-07:00Blog 6 <img src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/1*ykaHwtA3cNEV2zqkNKNHow.jpeg" /><br />
This is an important visual because it displays all the positive things that come from Greek life. Just a couple of important facts displayed are that $7 million dollars is raised towards charities each year by Greek life. Another important fact being that overall Greek life GPAs are higher than the average student. These are all important facts that show the benefits of going Greek and thats why this is an important visual.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12672858521206953539noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7010533145640641394.post-88879119207775918382017-03-20T17:45:00.004-07:002017-03-20T17:45:54.313-07:00Review 4 1)<br />

thinking skills, integration may be an essential ingredient in student learning
and development"<br />

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.<br />

3) This source looks at both the impact that Greek life has on students while at school and also after they graduate. While in school this article looks in the effects of alcohol and partying on members in the Greek community. On top of that it looks into Greek members campus involvement, academic outcomes, and skill gains. After that it looks into the long term effects Greek life has on its members. Five important categories they looked at were respondents life purpose, and their social, financial, community, and physical well-being. </div>

claim that they instill certain “soft skills” (leadership ability,
interpersonal skills, etc.) that are rarely captured through traditional
academic measures such as grades"</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
7) This is a very important source because it looks beyond the gains that Greek life provides for its students when they are in school. It looks on the overall success that it members have post graduation. It compares many different aspects of post graduation life between Greeks and Non-Greeks and shows how Greek members were positively impacted by joining Greek life. </div>

The Greek life community is filled with hundreds of thousands of current members and alumni. Although Greek life has been around for over 200 years it still gets a bad reputation. Many common issues brought up with it are excessive drinking, drug use, sexual assault, racism, and poor academic performances. While yes this does happen occasionally there are so many other advantages and positive impacts that the Greek community provides. For starters Greek life provides countless hours of community service and raises millions of dollars in philanthropy. A large majority of Greek students perform community service on a weekly basis. They provide help to the surrounding community and have a positive impact on thousands yearly. That is just the start to the impact that Greek life has. It also allows young college students to have an opportunity to grow and hold leadership positions. This is very important for a young college student. Holding these positions give them a sense of responsibility and helps them become a better leader. These are all traits that employers are looking for when looking for new employees. Greek members achieve high level as academic success as well. Most presidents and CEOs of fortune 500 companies were once in Greek Life. The impact of Greek life could go on forever. It allows students to socialize with new people constantly and develop their social skills. Students in Greek life have been studied and when looked at further the students apart of the Greek Community score higher in many different areas compared to Non-Greeks. This includes academic success, campus involvement, and development of different skills. These are just a few examples but there are many more. Even though there is the occasional hiccup in the Greek community, its overall positive impact outweighs the negatives. . </span></div>

A very important idea brought up in one article is cognitive development. One article does is depth study on the impact that joining Greek life has on the development of student’s cognitive development. Cognitive development is an important aspect of college and joining Greek life can help develop these skills. Greek communities that emphasize and promote academics have members with a much higher growth rate than Non-Greek. Another important term that goes along with this idea is espoused values. When a Greek community implements a high standard of espoused values the impact on its members is more significant. A Greek community that values academic success, involvement, and leadership abilities will help members develop greater cognitive skills. In the study that discussed cognitive development it concluded that the institutional culture has the greatest impact on its members. With that being said in order for Greek members to really grow and develop to their full potential there must be a strong culture that emphasizes learning in place.</span></div>

So far they have all looked into studies of students in the Greek community and Non-Greeks and compared the impact on joining Greek life. I found two very important cases that have discussed the impact on growth for Greek members. The two cases look at different areas of growth but both are equally important. As stated above the one case looks into the development of cognitive skills. The other article looks into the growth of leadership, friendships, community service, and academics. This another important case because it discusses how joining Greek life makes members more active in their community and gives them areas to increase their leadership experience. The case goes on to explain how Greek members volunteer on a weekly basis and put in more hours than non greeks. Also it gives members their first opportunity at developing their leadership skills. The case goes on to explain how Greek members gain abilities related to personal and social issues, gains in communications skills and critical thinking, and gains in job-related abilities. These abilities and skills help all Greek members to grow and become more successful in the future. Going forward I would like to find more evidence on the success of Greek Members after they graduate to further prove their growth in college helped them become successful in the workplace. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3) This article discusses some of the positive impacts Greek life has on its members. An important aspect of this article is that it brings up how Greek students have higher desires of pursuing a graduate degree. On top of that the study found that Greek student plan more on working full time after graduation. As well as graduation rates for Greek students are higher than Non-Greek. The article says the impact of the vase alumni networks set up by Greek organizations are a reason that Greek students are more prepared come senior year for the real world, or to further their education.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

4) Wesley Routon: Wesley is an applied microeconomist, and much of his work falls within labor and education economics. He revived his doctorate in economics from middle Tennessee state university </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Jay Walker: Jay's fields of interest are applied microeconomics, labor economics, and the economics of education. He is an assistant professor of economics at Niagara University and was awarded his Ph.D in economics from the university of Memphis. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5) Key concept: Increase in immediate plans of a full time job after school, increase in student government participation, and increase in volunteer work for members of Greek life over Non-Greek,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Key Concept: Greeks have a higher graduation rate, complete more unassigned course work and studied with other more than Non-Greeks</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
6) 1) ". This result is probably related to the extended alumni
networks that Greeks belong to that may offer aid in finding a job" pg 70</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2) "Greek membership is found to increase the desire to pursue a
graduate degree and increase the likelihood of graduating on time" pg 70</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3) "Another large difference in academic measures is completion of
unassigned coursework, which is a more frequent practice among
Greekmembers of both genders than non-Greeks" pg 66</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
7) This is an important article because it directly compares Greek students to Non-Greek. It is especially important because I am trying to show the positive impacts that Greek life has on its members. This article helps proving that point by showing how Greek members are more prepared for graduation then non ones. They put more thought into working full time and furthering their education in grad school. This is important for students because a lot of the time people get out of school and still do not have a sense of what they want to do or do not have a job. It also helps show the impact Greek life has on the community. Greek members volunteered on a much more frequent basis than Non-Greek members. That is why the article is so useful. </div>

3) Summary<br />
This article looks over the four main areas of college and specifically the four areas most impacted from joining Greek life. It looks into the effect of scholarship, leadership, service and friendship and the effect on each from joining a fraternity or a sorority. This article looks at study's that take an in depth look into each area. As expected joining Greek life promotes and enacts the value of friendship. Social life is an important aspect of Greek life and leads its members to meet many new people on a daily basis. Joining the Greek community also allows its members to hold leadership positions. For some members it could be there first opportunity to hold a position of power. These leadership positions give its members a sense of responsibility and it can help them grow as individuals. Lastly and one of the most important aspects of the Greek community is the community service they provide. Members provide countless hours over a semester to better there community. Greek members are required to perform some sort of community service and this has a positive impact on the surrounding community.<br />

<br />
5) Key terms<br />
1) Espoused values: These are values that are important to an organization<br />
2) Greek life experience: This is an important topic in this article because overall this article is measuring Greek members experiences in school.<br />
6) Quotes<br />

belonging and peer interaction and good in
developing study skills, critical thinking, commitment

career skills" pg 26<br />
<br />
2) " Less than 9% of fraternity
and sorority respondents reported they did
not engage in service" pg 24<br />
<br />
3) "These measures represented gains in
abilities related to personal and social issues,
gains in communication skills and critical

<br />
7) Value<br />
<br />
This article is extremely important because it analyzes the biggest aspects of college. It takes an in depth look at how Greek life members are affected by each aspect. Most of the research provided shows the positive impact joining Greek life has on its members. It provides them opportunities to grow in leadership. With over 50% of members holding some sort of leadership position within their organization. This article also goes on to explain how most members rate their experience in Greek life as excellent. This is important because it shows how most members do not regret their decision. Members are also able to increase their impact on the community. Very few Greek life members do not participate in community service opportunities. Thus providing a positive impact for the surrounding community. Lastly Greek members develop important communication skills that they will continue to use for the rest of their lives. These sort of pros are a reason why joining Greek life is a great idea.<br />

<br />
This article is helpful because it takes an in depth look into Greek and Non-Greek students. It compares the two different students side by side on many different measured variables. In most of these variables Greek students tend to rank higher than the Non-Greek ones in many different areas at school. This article shows how joining Greek life increases higher levels of social involvement and gains. It also goes on to prove that joining Greek life does not impact students academic performance. It was found that students in Greek life did not report lower levels of academic involvement, integration of college experiences, or gains in math and science reasoning. This is important information when proving that Greek life does not actually have a negative impact on a students academic life. Overall this source helps me show how Greek life students grow in some areas more than the average student.<br />
<br />

<br />
This next article also helps support the benefits of joining Greek life. This article goes on to prove how members of Greek Life have higher percentages of graduating and want a graduate degree more than Non-Greek students. These two statistics are important because it shows how these students look too the future more than average students. That is further proved in this article when the study shows how Greek members plan on working full time upon graduation. Greek students have large alumni groups that help them have an idea of what to do when nearing graduation. Due to this these students are more prepared come their senior year.<br />

<br />
Lastly this article is useful because it looks into all aspects of Greek life. Not just academic achievements but also leadership, service, and friendship. One of the benefits found was the positive impact joining Greek life has on students. It helps the individual members grow and experience a leadership position as well as have a positive impact on the organization even without holding a leadership position. Another positive impact of Greek life is the impact it has on the surrounding community. Greek members contribute to countless hours of community service. 43% of fraternity members and 51% of sorority respondents engage between 1-5 service hours per week. This combines to a lot of total hours bettering the surrounding community which only provides a positive impact for the members within it.<br />

Before I even started looking into my topic I assumed most articles on google would criticize Greek life.Instead when I googled the impact that it has on students a lot of the articles discussed the pros to joining Greek life. The articles discuss how students in Greek life are provided opportunities that none Greek students may not have access to or feel obligated to do. It was discussed how Greek life gives its members an opportunity at leadership positions. These positions allow students to grow and face situations they may have never seen had the not joined Greek life. On top of that it discusses how students are more involved with their community. They perform more community service as well as hold philanthropy events raising awareness for a specific cause. The scholarly articles that will be most beneficial are the ones that show how joining Greek life has positively impacted Greek members lives. It will be important to get specific facts that show how Greek life increases student involvement as well as future success. The important ideas with regards to this topic is to clearly state how Greek students have a positive impact on their community as well as bettering their own lives. http://download.springer.com/static/pdf/434/art%253A10.1023%252FA%253A1007046513949.pdf?originUrl=http%3A%2F%2Flink.springer.com%2Farticle%2F10.1023%2FA%3A1007046513949&token2=exp=1487018803~acl=%2Fstatic%2Fpdf%2F434%2Fart%25253A10.1023%25252FA%25253A1007046513949.pdf%3ForiginUrl%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Flink.springer.com%252Farticle%252F10.1023%252FA%253A1007046513949*~hmac=cb1667537d452764e15903d4fcad974b03dd03d04f90d65b4927f6f239d3b351<br />
The above link provides a table on page 10 that compares Greek students to non Greek students. This table is important because most of the measured variables have Greek students doing better than the non Greek. This provides important information that shows the impact that Greek life has on its initiates.<br />
http://education.seattlepi.com/positive-negative-effects-greek-life-college-1095.html<br />
This link is important because it compares the positive and negatives of joining Greek life. In this article the pros outweigh the cons which is important when I am trying to show the positive impact of Greek life. While researching my topic I definitely ran into a counterargument. There is also a huge concern with the negative impact that Greek life has on its members. Some articles discuss the substance and alcohol abuse that Greek students face. Another big issue is hazing. Hazing causes deaths almost every year and because of that Greek life faces a lot of backlash. Although these are valid arguments, the positives that Greek life provides for it's members and the community outweight the cons.
