The benefits (and drawbacks) of college fraternities and sororities
Social connections and career networking are two of the top reasons college students seek out fraternities and sororities.

Greek life supporters also say they offer mentorship, academic support, and life-long friendships. Native fraternities and sororities began in the mid 1990s and also offer a chance for Native students to connect with each other and draw support from shared cultural values.
