Opportunities

Many doors open when you involve yourself in an organization such as a sorority or fraternity.

Jobs as small as working a weekend event to as big as starting your career can all be achieved by networking with friends that your make in these organizations. Internships can be easily accessible when you have a friend who previously held the position.

Although this can be valuable during college once your friends gradu-ate the all move to seperate places. This another big opportunity to get a job in the real world. These friends already have experience and can easily help you find a job or give you tips on how to land the posi-tion you are seeking.
