Sorority and fraternity Advantage: Friendships.

When you join a fraternity or sorority, not only do friendships with members of your own organization. These groups often have many activities outside the same house. In them, interact with members of other fraternities or sororities and facilitates the formation of new friends of both sexes, something that will help the growth of your social circle.

Disadvantage: Lack of diversity.

Normally, one does not choose who will live in dormitories. No choice is good because it makes you interact with people you had not spoken originally, something that teaches you to be tolerant and maybe even help you discover new tastes and interests. If you choose your group, the type of people you associate with will always be the same.

Advantage: volunteer work.

Most organizations have a cause to which they are dedicated. Some work to help cure Alzheimer's, others to find a cure for diabetes. Participating in these activities not only provides support to causes in need, but also tend to be fun and exciting times!

Disadvantage: Time.

Participate in meetings, student adapt to a different style, help volunteer activities, going to parties, decorating the house, etc.., All this takes time which is valuable in your college career. If you are completely disorganized, could affect your notes and consequently, your future.

Advantage: Time Management.

Although time consuming, balancing all these activities, your social life (in and out of the fraternity or sorority), and studies is very good practice for life after your college career. If you have not learned this before finishing college, balance work and your social life is going to make it much harder. Many fraternities and sororities consider academic performance to keep a permanent position within the organization and this ends up being a positive pressure for many people.

Disadvantage: Wrong Group.

If you choose a group of people that are not compatible, you're not going to go well. The vast majority of social fraternities or sororities share a house and interact with people with whom one does not get along all that well every day, can give you a hard time

Advantage: You learn to be tolerant.

Even if you pick a group with whom you are compatible, there will always be someone who fills you patience. As you have to interact with these people every day, you learn to tolerate many things that previously you had bothered and sometimes even end up being your best friends.

Disadvantage: Money.

For more help you receive monetary scholarships and your family, being involved with a group costs money. You have to pay to keep the house, to decorate for events and festivals, to promote activities, to donate, to help organizations, etc.. There is a free experience.

Advantage: Investment.

All these organizations have opportunities to interact with alumni and will create a circle where you can create connections to help you after you graduate either to find work or to get ahead. If you have the opportunity to have a leadership position in the organization (president, vice president, treasurer, etc..), This would show on your resume your ability to handle responsibilities. These are some of the reasons to consider the money used in the fraternity or sorority as an investment.

The most important thing when you're comparing university housing types is to know your personality and know your limitations and atmosphere suits your personality. If after considering the advantages and disadvantages you feel there is a reason to do something or not, let yourself be guided by your instincts. Joining a fraternity or sorority, in any case, is a decision that will bring fond memories and friends.
