You've seen Animal House. You know all
about the keg parties and the beer bashes that fraternities revolve
around - all the endless partying and constant inebriation that
members of every fraternity no doubt experience during their entire
time at college. You know all this and more... because you
saw it in the movies.
But if movies were true, British Secret Service agents could
single-handedly save the world from total annihilation, Keanu Reeves
would know kung fu, and apes would rule the planet.
American media has stereotyped Greek life into a clichι that many
students come to college believing. Many
students base their judgments of Greek life on these stereotypes,
never bothering to learn more about certain fraternities or sororities
and how it affects the lives of the brothers and sisters.
However, one important aspect about fraternity life they fail to
see is that, for many brothers, the fraternity is their second home,
and to others it is their first and only home. Many brothers feel
more comfortable discussing personal matters with the fraternity,
rather than with their family. The fraternity is a place where brothers
can turn to when they have a conflict, whether it be financial or
scholastic, emotional or mental, and know they will never be ignored
and always understood.
Do you only accept Asians?
Pi Delta Psi is an Asian-interest cultural fraternity that seeks
to educate others about our different heritages. One of the best
ways to learn about these cultures is to pledge Pi Delta Psi. Anybody
from any ethnicity who is interested in learning more about Asian
culture and who has a desire to help spread cultural understanding
is welcome in our fraternity. Pi Delta Psi has Asian,
Caucasian, Latino, and African-American brothers across the nation,
and members of Pi Delta Psi are proud to call men of any ethnicity
who complete the pledging process their brother.
Isn't there more to college than a
fraternity?
Yes. Although the fraternity opens the student up to a limitless
amount of activities and events, we
do not see fraternity life as a replacement for other activities
on campus, but the perfect complement. Becoming
a member of Pi Delta Psi would in no way ever stop you from participating
in other organizations; in fact, many of our brothers are members
of other student associations and regularly interact with and deal
with several organizations on campus.
How would fraternity life affect my
grades?
Fraternity life should in no way hurt your grades;
in fact, in many ways it can help. Pi Delta Psi knows that students
come to Cornell and pay $32,000 for an education, and as such, the
fraternity does everything it can to help the academic success of
its brothers. One of the pillars of Pi Delta Psi is Academic Achievement,
and the Kappa Chapter employs an Academic Chair to help or find
help for students who may need assistance in their studies. The
fraternity is an incredibly valuable academic resource for its brothers,
as brothers are often able to help each other with their classes.
No Pi Delta Psi brother at Cornell has taken longer than the usual
4 years to graduate with a Bachelor's degree.
