Participating in any worthwhile activity always requires an investment of one&#8217;s time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Time commitment depends on the level of involvement in the sorority or fraternity; for example, officers will dedicate more time to the sorority or fraternity due to additional responsibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Research has suggested that involved college students are more likely to graduate and they report greater satisfaction with their college experience. Through Sorority &amp; Fraternity involvement, members learn how to balance academics, work, campus involvement, and social commitments. It&#8217;s all about time management!<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-610a81c4 gb-accordion\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-1cb0c1f4 gb-accordion__item\" data-transition=\"slide\">\n\n<button class=\"gb-button gb-button-d20b8ff9 gb-accordion__toggle\"><span class=\"gb-button-text\">How do I join a sorority or fraternity?<\/span><span class=\"gb-icon\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" width=\"1em\" height=\"1em\" role=\"img\" class=\"gb-accordion__icon\"><path d=\"M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" width=\"1em\" height=\"1em\" role=\"img\" class=\"gb-accordion__icon-open\"><path d=\"M240.971 130.524l194.343 194.343c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941l-22.667 22.667c-9.357 9.357-24.522 9.375-33.901.04L224 227.495 69.255 381.516c-9.379 9.335-24.544 9.317-33.901-.04l-22.667-22.667c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941L207.03 130.525c9.372-9.373 24.568-9.373 33.941-.001z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/button>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-accordion__content\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-5cbfbdd2\">\n\n<p>We have three councils at EWU, each with a unique recruitment process.
