Is fraternity membership a good investment for my son?
Yes. Fraternal membership brings to mind images of playing volleyball on the lawn and other leisure activities. However, the benefits of fraternal membership are concrete and actuarially sound. Most obvious, is the relatively low priced housing for proximity to campus and access to scholarships. Less obvious are the far higher graduation rates for fraternity members over other students (4-year graduation rate is 33% and 64.4% over 6 years for independent students) whereas 26 out of 27 initiates in the class of 2019 graduated within 5 years, most in 4 years and one of whom in just 3 years. All of this lends credence to the hypothesis that the #1 reason students drop out of college is not due to financial hardship but a lack of an effective social support system. Best of all are the impossible to quantify benefits of being member of the brotherhood for life.
