There are many reasons when we talk about why you should join a fraternity or sorority. The feeling of brotherhood/sisterhood, and above all, a sense of community, is what attracts most to joining a fraternity or sorority. Are you still figuring out the reasons if the Greek life is for you or not? Let us look at a few of them. One of the most important and crucial Olympian deities present in Greek and Roman mythology, Apollo, is commonly known as the god of light and the sun. The city-states were often at war, but just before the Olympics, a truce would be called so that everyone could travel to Olympia safely.

This resource is not a grammar or Greek textbook but an extended exhortation about the motivation to keep up one's knowledge [of New Testament Greek], and practical advice on the time management necessary to attend to language study in the midst of a busy life. Woven throughout the work are encouragements in the form of biblical quotations and anecdotes about people who have used various methods to retain or revive their knowledge of Greek." These inspired the modern Olympics which began in 1896. Some of the events were very similar. Like the Greeks, we also hold the Olympics every four years.

Ask yourself what is Greek life to you, why you want to join a fraternity or a sorority, what it is that they will be able to add to your life and what you can get out with after joining one.
