How much of a time commitment do fraternities require?
The six week new member education period will require a time commitment from the new members, but the fraternities are not ignorant of the needs of their members. They realize that the new members are involved in other activities and will be as accommodating as possible to each individual’s needs. After the new member education period, the time spent in the house by each brother is largely up to him. Although participation in social events, chapter meetings, and elections is highly encouraged, the extent to which the house monopolizes one’s time is entirely up to the individual. Living in the house is required only by some of the fraternities, although most of the fraternities require their officers to reside in the house.
