Benefits of Fraternal Life

Recent research done by the Research Initiative of the National Panhellenic Conference (NPC) and the North American Interfraternity Conference (NIC) indicates that members of fraternities and sororities:

    - have a higher retention rate as college students.
    - are more likely to volunteer in their communities.
    - are more likely to be active in civic affairs.
    - are more likely to be civically responsible citizens during adulthood.
    - tend to make larger gifts when donating to various causes.

Moreover, academics are a priority in fraternities and sororities. When students join Delta Zeta, they become part of a larger group of students who value their academic goals. The Delta Zeta chapter and its advisors understands what the new member is facing and can provide support in many areas, including academic advisors, study hours and tutoring.

Once a member has graduated, chances are she will find an alumnae chapter or other members of Delta Zeta in her area. In addition, fraternities and sororities have national networks for members that could be helpful in finding jobs or internships.
