0001 0003 cut Standing while talking Lapel mic I am also the vice president, new member educator, philanthropy chair, and public relations chair for my fraternity. Music file Replace Replace

I joined Greek life for several reasons.
0001 0004 cut Standing while talking Lapel mic I joined Greek life for several reasons. Music file Replace Replace

0001 0005 cut Close up Lapel mic I wanted connections at school and in the real world, a group of friends I would have for life, the experience, and an opportunity to strengthen my leadership and other skills. Music file Replace Replace

These are all common reasons for most people to join Greek life.
0001 0006 cut Close up Lapel mic These are all common reasons for most people to join Greek life. Music file Replace Replace

0001 0007 cut Wide shot with my arms out Lapel mic Going Greek is an amazing experience that everyone should consider trying!! Music file Replace Replace

0001 0008 cut Power point Lapel mic This presentation is for the people who are interested in joining Greek life. Greek life is not for everyone. Music file Replace Replace

0001 0009 cut Powerpoint Lapel mic It is a lot of work to be in a fraternity or sorority but the experience is definitely worth it!! Music file Replace Replace

0001 0010 cut Mid shot Lapel mic Why not rush places to see what they are about? There is nothing wrong with checking all the fraternities and sororities out! Music file Replace Replace

0001 0011 cut Mid shot Lapel mic You never know if you will like them or not, especially if you do not check them out! Music file Replace Replace

Why should you go Greek? Well I am going to tell you why!
0001 0012 cut Mid shot Lapel mic Why should you go Greek? Well I am going to tell you why! Music file Replace Replace

0001 0013 cut Mid shot Lapel mic Let’s talk about some of the stereotypes of joining Greek life. I am going to debunk all of them and expose them for the lies that they are. Music file Replace Replace

0001 0014 cut Mid shot Lapel mic First let’s talk about “paying for friends”. Some people have in their minds that you are just paying for friends. Music file Replace Replace

0001 0015 cut Mid shot Lapel mic You are not paying for friends. You are not paying for the experience. You are paying for shirts, housing fees, formals, retreats, philanthropy events, and a lot of other things Music file Replace Replace

0001 0016 cut Mid shot Lapel mic You are not paying for your friends because you will already be friends with the people in your organization. You rush them and hangout with them for a few weeks. Music file Replace Replace

0001 0017 cut Mid shot Lapel mic You already know the people and what they are about. No one is going to join an organization they are not comfortable around. Music file Replace Replace

That is just common sense!
0001 0018 cut Close up Lapel mic That is just common sense! Music file Replace Replace

0001 0019 cut powerpoint Lapel mic Let’s talk about hazing. It is known that some organizations haze their new members to “mold” them into ideal members of their group. Music file Replace Replace

0001 0020 cut Power point Lapel mic Hazing is not good. It is illegal. Do not do anything you are not okay with! Music file Replace Replace

0001 0021 cut powerpoint Lapel mic A group that exploits or endangers their members should not be allowed on campus. Music file Replace Replace

0001 0022 cut powerpoint Lapel mic You can report any form of hazing to your Greek life & Relations office on campus. This is not like the movies. Music file Replace Replace

0001 0023 cut Standing while talking Lapel mic Do not let movies like Neighbors or GOAT change your perspective of Greek life. Music file Replace Replace

0001 0024 cut Standing while talking Lapel mic No one can get away with those kinds of things. You want to treat your new members with respect. Music file Replace Replace

After all why have someone you do not respect join your organization?
0001 0025 cut Arms out while talking Lapel mic After all why have someone you do not respect join your organization? Music file Replace Replace

Not all Greek organizations haze. Actually the majority don’t haze.
0001 0026 cut Standing while talking Lapel mic Not all Greek organizations haze. Actually the majority don’t haze. Music file Replace Replace

0001 0027 cut Standing while talking Lapel mic Do not let the actions of a few speak for the whole group. As said before you should not join an organization that you are not comfortable with. Music file Replace Replace

0001 0028 cut Standing while talking Lapel mic Now let’s talk about another “myth” about Greek life, that joining Greek life is bad for you. Music file Replace Replace

0001 0029 cut Standing while talking Lapel mic All you are going to do is drink, do drugs, or fail out of school. Actually Greek organizations have safe environments for drinking Music file Replace Replace

0001 0030 cut Standing while talking Lapel mic There are sober people there to make sure nothing gets out of hand and that you are safe while drinking. Music file Replace Replace

0001 0031 cut Standing while talking Lapel mic No one is going to pressure you into doing something that you do not want to do. Why join an organization that is going to pressure you into doing things that you do not want to do?? Music file Replace Replace

0001 0032 cut powerpoint Lapel mic Also all Greek organizations have mandatory GPA requirements for their members. Music file Replace Replace

0001 0033 cut powerpoint Lapel mic The minimum set by IUP for fraternities is a 2.4 GPA. Most fraternities and sororities even have higher minimums. Music file Replace Replace

0001 0034 cut powerpoint Lapel mic For example, my GPA must be above a 2.5 or I will be put on academic probation. Music file Replace Replace

0001 0035 cut powerpoint Lapel mic If you fall below your required GPA you will be put on mandatory study hours or extended mandatory study hours depending on how low, it gets! Music file Replace Replace

0001 0036 cut Standing while talking Lapel mic It varies from university to university. Greek organizations tend to do more for the community than most nonmembers. Music file Replace Replace

0001 0037 cut powerpoint Lapel mic Every organization has at least one major philanthropy event a semester, most have more than one too! Music file Replace Replace

0001 0038 cut Powerpoint Lapel mic These philanthropy events can raise money for any cause and it is showing that Greek life is not all about partying and having a good time. We actually care about our community and want to give back to it. Music file Replace Replace

0001 0039 cut Standing while talking Lapel mic The connections you make at your university and in the real world will be increased exponentially if you join Greek life. Music file Replace Replace
