Good insight. All college students should be thinking about the clubs, organizations, and experiences they have participated in. There are many parallels between those college experiences and the hard and soft skills you need to be an attractive candidate and successful in the workforce.

I couldn’t agree more that being an active student is a huge plus for anyone’s business career. Club sports, honor societies, political groups and the like are great ways to practice leadership skills and even project management.

I agree with your major points. I was in a sorority at college and when I graduated I realized quickly that my experience prepared me for the bigger world. Imagine learning how to work with over 100 women. It’s challenging at times.

I think this is a great post. I too joined a sorority in college, however I never realized how it truly did prepare me for the business world! You explained it well and this is something I can use in my next interview!

Wish I had been in a sorority, then I might have learned some things.

Seriously, good post. In short, everybody should learn how to be somebody by acting with pride.

That’s a great question. I think that other student groups foster leadership development. Being a disk jockey at a college radio station can help with presenting skills and working under pressure. Being in student government can help you learn discipline and how to follow processes. As long as students are involved and act progressively to shape themselves, they will grow.

Jennifer, it seems to me that any organization that you’re passionate about could impart these skills. How do you think Greek life compares to other student groups?
