• Why do you want to join a Greek organization? (if it is to party and act like Bluto on Animal House or Steve Sanders on 90210, then please rethink your priorities - you can party and act foolish without joining a Greek organization - and save yourself a lot of time and money before flunking out of Purdue... think about it). 

  • Do you understand you are joining this organization for life? 

  • Do you have the financial resources to pay for rent, food, and chapter dues? 

  • Will you have the time to participate in chapter leadership positions, chapter meetings, service events, intramurals, and other chapter events? 

  • What is the GPA of the chapter? 

  • What is the GPA for the most recent new member class? 

  • What percent of the most recent new member class was initiated? 

  • Does the chapter disclose the contents of their pledge/new member program? 

  • Does the chapter tell you the date of initiation during the rectuitment process? 

  • What is the percentage of members involved in student organizations? 

  • What is the percentage of chapter members who graduate? 

  • If the chapter has a housing facility, is it well-kept and clean?

  • Do the members respect the property? 

  • Do all members participate equally in cleaning the house? 

  • What alumni / alumnae connections are available through the organization? 

  • Will this organization help build your resume for a successful career after you graduate?

  • Does the organization support the academic mission of Purdue University?

  • Lastly, and perhaps most important, what group do you "fit in" with and feel the most comfortable around?
