Fraternities and Sororities can be a great experience for college students. Greek life is meant for some students, but definitely not for everybody. Here are six things that you can do besides join a Fraternity.
1. Acapella Group

Acapella groups are not only a great way to get to know people in the group themselves, but they are also great for meeting people in other groups. These groups usually have a small, but loyal fan base at the university.
2. Act/Tech a show

This is an experience much like being in an Acapella group. Depending on the production, you don't necessarily need a lot of experience or skills to participate. Working on a show is a great resume builder and a great way to make friends. You might even get paid!
3. Join A Club

There are countless clubs at GVSU, where I'm currently a student. Ranging from Advertising Club to Squirrel Watching Club, to Car Club, to Super Smash Bros Club, there will always be something for you, no matter your university. I promise.
4. Go To Housing Events

If you live on campus at your school, go to housing events! Your RA likely puts on some super cool events for you every week. These events are a great chance to take your mind off of school work and socialize with other folks.
5. Go To Parties

You don't have to be in a fraternity to go out and party. In a theatre show? Go to the opening night party. In a film? Go to the wrap party. In a club? Go to that thing where they party and talk about that club thing. Know someone who's in a frat? See if they can get you into an upcoming event.
6. Do the Disney College Program!

Meet all sorts of amazing people who are passionate for Disney and creating memorable vacations for families from all around the world. The Disney College Program is a fantastic opportunity for college students, both socially and strategically.
