Do sororities/Fraternities make a difference in career prospects? I read parents are paying upwards of $4000 for sorority consultants. In my experience, the only place it helped was for finance-type roles that are geographically limited and skew towards sales e.g. friends dad gets you a junior corporate accountant job. For sorority, it's mostly a bunch of Mrs. Degrees from my first hand experience with a peppering of Nursing degrees. Very few intense degrees. It's also more of a Midwestern/Southern thing and they do tend to align on racial lines. Ivy league eating clubs are a different animal entirely... Thoughts from those involved in Greek life?
No. Or I just suck. Or my frat bros suck
If you want to make a bunch of friends who can refer you in the future, yes
I've only seen it helpful for already well-connected finance types and even that is region specific. Eng. usually are happy to refer without having to live together.
No. I was in one. No career benefits whatsoever. It did give me friends to hang out with though when I moved to a new city.
Tbh, drinking buddies on tap might be the biggest benefit
Depends on the major and school culture. The school I went to didn't have a significant Greek life so it didn't matter. Also most engs aren't into those.
Haven't really heard of sorority consultants being a thing on the west coast. You generally will have a sense of where you may get a bid by looking at each house I don't think Greek life helps too much with career prospects but you definitely make really great friends from it
Does the friendship last long?

You are not going to like what I say ...
Yep. Networking works.
Networking works but would you pay for it in undergrad when most people aren't your major or career path
Yep and I got interviews out of it later. It was also very fun.
