how has greek life helped you in finance?
So i’m a freshman who just finished rush and got a bid and ultimately accepted it. I’m very happy with where i’m at, but i’m wondering, has being in a fraternity helped you at all professionally? Was wondering if anyone on here who was in a frat made any meaningful professional connections through greek life?
also wanted to add, i’m in delta chi so would be cool if anyone else in where was also in delta chi
You’re not in delta chi yet pledge
🥲
But I was a delta chi at a large state school. Didn’t really help too much professionally but it did help make college way better
Do you know Kimble...
Fuck delta chi
Delta Chi likes men thighs
From my own experience, greek life exposed me to a much a broader social life than what I would have experienced otherwise. Through my fraternity I was able to meet so many new people, alumni, and parents of my friends who work in finance. Brothers in my fraternity who were aiming to get into finance would work together on mock interviews, critiquing resumes, and general discussion about recruitment processes. The amount of knowledge I gained about banking through the people I met in my fraternity would have been much harder to learn on my own. Having a connection to alumni also made networking much easier.
When I get yelled at at work I just remember when I was paying $2,500 to drink dog food, red franzia, sriracha and God knows what else was in that blender while doing wall sits shirtless, scrubbing grout in bathroom floors at 5am, and going on interval runs drunk in the middle of the night and it doesn’t seem that bad.
my pledging starts friday so haven’t experienced that yet, but good way to put it
From what I've heard, that was the main way for older people (defined as people went through analyst programs in late 80's to 90's and 2000's) to get connections and prepare for interviews. Ain't no WSO back then.
A few ways:
greek orgs teach you how to sexually assault women
Question for you:
Please tell me if I’m wrong, but pretty confident they don’t, which makes it pretty hard to argue they cause sexual assault. More likely, people that are very into drinking, socializing, and having sex join Greek orgs as opposed to people like you who study finance and watch hentai.
The trend of Greek life disappearing across the country is so pathetic. It’s a great example of gen z feeling they need to eliminate freedoms to feel safe and modify the world around them rather than change their behavior with a live and let live mentality. If you think greek life causes sexual assault, don’t join the orgs or go to their parties, but to crusade against it preventing other people from having a fun time is literally the definition of player-hating/ jealously. It would be like 9-5pm workers saying, investment banking treatment is terrible no one should be allowed to do that. Like F off, some people want to work till 2am, just because it isn’t for you doesn’t mean you need to bash other people’s fun.
no bid geed? 🤒😞
Highest rates of sexual assault per capita (from 2016 but only one that listed per capita): https://amp.sacbee.com/latest-news/article82214932.html
By my count that’s all liberal arts colleges with limited or zero Greek life plus Dartmouth. And I hate frats.
edit: meant to be a reply to the clown above
I was in SAE in college. The larger alumni network was not helpful at all, however, the members and alumni within your chapter are extremely useful. I’d recommend befriending some of the older brothers who share similar career goals and they will likely be able to help you out down the line.
It doesn’t do shit network wise
But it usually helps affirm you have some sort of social skills and aren’t a total retard to be around. Trading is a job that requires a lot of soft skills. No one wants to sit next to a junior wet blanket
