 "Life in the Fraternal system at Purdue university has been extremely influential to not only my first year at Purdue, but also my outlook on the college experience. Not only has it allowed me to gain contacts all over the nation and Canada, but also it has allowed me to capitalize on the experiences of other guys in the chapter--what to do, what not to do, what classes to take, etc. All-the-while, I have gained a chapter full of brothers that I could call in a moments notice if I really needed something. Fraternity life has been and will continue to be an immense, positive influence on my life! " "Throughout my three years of college, joining the Greek community has remained one of my most valued decisions. It allows students to shrink a campus of Purdue's size into a smaller more comfortable experience. Greek life gives its members the opportunity to excel in leadership roles that will most certainly contribute to a successful career upon graduation. The tradition and values help both establish and sustain relationships that will exceed the bounds of our college years." "I've grown up quite a bit since freshman year, but I'm sure most upperclassmen can say that, no doubt. Though, there are a select few of us that credit that growth to a certain quality…that of fraternity life. The meaning of fraternity life differs from student to student, but for me the fraternity offers a unique support group of classmates, role models, mentors, and friends young and old whom I call my brothers. Being in a fraternity presents endless opportunities to step up and take the initiative in academics, extracurricular activities and community service. It has been easier to get involved on campus through the support and example of my brothers. It is said that we are the leaders on campus; it is because we base our goals and actions by a moral code that our fraternity instills in us the day we associate. My fraternity has made possible a balanced collegiate life, where academics and community service mold the cornerstone of a social, fun and fulfilling college experience." |
