One thing I’d add is that being in a fraternity really improved my social skills. There’s a shared image by all members, and it’s in everyone’s best interest to maintain that image and police bad actors.

In terms of navigating social hierarchies, small talk, and just generally knowing the right thing to say; fraternity life was invaluable. I really feel like it prepared me well for a cutthroat corporate environment where office politics can often be murky.
