Why Go Greek?
Today’s Sororities and Fraternities May Surprise You! Each Greek organization is a self-governing business. UBC students, with the assistance of alumni advisors, collectively budget, collect and expend over $500,000 per year.
There are over 400 leadership positions in the UBC Greek community alone. Greeks are more likely to graduate than other collegians. Students who join fraternities and sororities are 28% more likely to return to university the following year than students who choose not to join. Greeks rate their college life happier than other collegians and are more involved in campus activities then non-members.
85% of Fortune 500 companies are run by Greeks. Greek alumni have higher average incomes than non-Greek alumni after graduation, even after accounting for parents’ educational levels, graduation year, and gender. Greek-affiliated alumni are involved in more civic organizations and contribute more financially to charitable organizations than non-Greek alumni. Fraternity and sorority involvement correlates positively with citizen involvement and charitable giving later in life.
