There is no better way to kick off a new semester than stepping out of your comfort zone and getting engaged with the UTEP community.
Some of the best moments in college come from socializing and making new memories and friendships that will last a lifetime.
Sept. 3, all UTEP fraternities and sororities were at Centennial Plaza for “Meet the Greeks.” The event was held to recruit new members and to spread the word about Greek life at UTEP.
“Fraternities are not only useful for social aspects but also staying active in your classes, having people to push you to that next level,” said Kammeraad.
While Greek life promotes brotherhood and sisterhood, it gives students entering a new stage in life a place to call home. Formulating new connections can grow into a second form of family that will guide you through college.
While some students may not want to pursue Greek life due to old stereotypes or stigmas, what students fail to recognize is the opportunity to meet new people, get out of their comfort zones and serve the community.
Trying new things can always be intimidating but the best thing to do is to dip into new experiences.
Getting involved with fraternities and or sororities can open a new world of opportunities for any student who is looking to make more meaning to their academic career and social lives.
