Greek life refers to social organizations at North American colleges and universities that are broken down into fraternities for men and sororities for women. These organizations are typically bound together by brotherhood or sisterhood, common goals, and aspirations. Greek life members are required to maintain a minimum GPA to continue their membership, and those who maintain high GPAs are invited to join notable Greek honor societies. Greek life organizations offer more than just social life, including leadership, academics, and community service opportunities. Joining a Greek organization can also provide lifetime benefits, such as access to vast alumni networks that can help with job connections after graduation. However, Greek life requires a significant time commitment throughout the year, and some Greek organizations have a history of harmful alcohol- or hazing-related behaviors.
