Cons of Greek Life

Along with pros of Greek Life come the cons. Nick Spillane, a member of Phi Gamma Delta fraternity at Michigan State University said, "I would say the only con of being involved in Greek Life would be dealing somewhat bad reputation that it brings." According to Dr. Alan Reifman, a professor of human development and family studies at Texas Tech University, heavier drinking is showed to be consistent with Greek Life members compared to non-Greek members. This issue of a bad reputation of Greek Life seems to be a consistent con to both those involved and those who are not. Carla Hayden, a non-Greek MSU student, said the cost of being a part of a sorority is too much and not worth it. Living in a house with up to 50 girls also stands out as a con to Hayden. Jacquelina Kupchick is an MSU alumnae who was not involved in Greek Life. She was not a fan of Greek Life saying that those in Greek Life seemed stuck up and less likely to hang out with non-Greek Life students.

Pros of Greek Life

According to a variety of sources, I have found the pros of "going Greek." All of the sources agreed that Greek Life is a great opportunity to meet new people and broaden your social circle. They also agreed that Greek Life does some great things in raising money and creating awareness for different philanthropic events. Dr. Alan Reifman, a professor of human development and family studies at Texas Tech University said," Greek Life might instill a sense of importance to community service, which lasts a lifetime." For those in Greek Life, the "sisterhood" and "brotherhood" were aspects that made Greek Life so special and unique. Frank Parzynski, a Michigan State University and Greek Life Alumnus, and Geoffrey Sabourin, a senior at MSU, Greek Life member, and Interfraternity Council President, both saw Greek Life as a positive on their resumes. They said that being affiliated with Greek Life could help them stand out to employers and possibly advance them in their careers.

As Marisa Madynski comes into her apartment with fresh Kroger groceries, she already knows she plans to make eggplant for the first time. Considering she doesn't have much experience cooking eggplant, she goes to her roommate, Brianna DiMichele, for some help. After pre-heating the oven, she begins breading the eggplant with Panko breadcrumbs. After she is finished breading she puts the eggplant into the oven. Madynski grows impatient throughout the process of preparing and cooking her eggplant because she is so hungry. Finally, after adding more time to the eggplant's cook time, Madynski's food is ready. She sits down and smiles as she eats her delicious eggplant.

After a long day and a trip to the grocery store, a Michigan State student comes home to prepare a meal. Marisa Madynski is new to cooking this year and is always looking to try new things. She loves to eat healthy and make her own food. You can find Madynski at her Louis Street apartment, along with her other roommates, making themselves dinner each night. Despite their busy schedules they still try to cook every night, rather than spending money on ordering food. They try to switch things up and make a variety of different meals including foods such as eggplant, pasta, chicken, and so much more.
