[quote=Anonymous]Why has no one posted about the benefits of life post-graduation?

I’m 2O yrs out so perspective is everything.

1. High achievers - most of my sorority sisters have highly respected jobs. My sorority housemates produced 4 doctors, 6 lawyers, 3 engineers, scientists, a federal judge, multiple business execs, tenured university professors, author, professional musician (classical), social workers/therapists, finance leaders, international policy experts, pharmacist, and school administrators.

More of them had their “s-together” faster than non greek friends.

2. Post-Grad Networking: Right after college a (same) sorority alum picked my resume out of a pile because of the sorority name. Hired! I’ve hired entry level and interns through the National sorority network. I also was a formal alumni mentor for 5 years through national. They match alumni with sorority seniors interested in your industry. Helped them with resumes, job hunting, thinking about grad school, and I was the person they called when they needed help navigating office politics in their first jobs.

3. Sorority was the best training for corporate life. Years of rush training pay off in interviews, public speaking, and sorority leadership teaches coalition building, how to politic politely but effectively. It also helps to understand social dynamics in a workplace which —!we all know can be toxic AF.

And, like most young adults post college, that college greek social life stops quickly. You aren’t going to mixers at at 40…

Point is that it’s just a few years of someone’s life, it’s an experience you can only have once, it offers structure to those who need it , and you learn what you can and move on.
