Joining an Organization

We asked some current UT Greeks, what do you wish you would have known before rush/recruitment/intake that you know now?

"When you join a chapter, you're actually joining the whole Greek Life family. You have sisterhood within your sorority, but you also have many Greek brothers and sisters who are not in your organization ..." -TAPC member

"I wish I would have known before rush the many benefits you get by being Greek and all of the opportunities I now have to contribute to the community. I also wish I would have known about all of the programming that goes on in the Greek community." -UGC member

"I am very happy with the fraternity I joined because I took the time to get to know the guys. I did not choose based on reputation or on the social aspect. You should choose based on how you feel you can contribute to the organization and on whether you feel you can build life-long friendships in that organization." -IFC member

"It takes a lot of hard work and you have to be really dedicated to what you're about and what your organization is about. It is a time commitment, but your organization is about what you are willing to contribute ..." -NPHC member

"Being yourself is really important and people take that for granted. They're going to like you for who you are and it's the best way to find out where you belong. Ask questions about the chapter because it's your job to find out if it's right for you ..." -PHC member
