THESE ARE ALL CREATED TO BE SHARED WITH PROSPECTIVE/POTENTIAL MEMBERS! And they are yours (fraternity/sorority leaders, volunteers, and professionals) to use for FREE.

See our recommendations below on the best way to use these videos. These are yours to share widely. Use these to connect with people who might be #ConsideringJoining! For example, you might use these…

SPECIAL REQUEST: We are seeking your help distributing THIS SURVEY to all graduating high school seniors. If you can share this survey with high school seniors/rising college first-year students, that would be a huge help. Here’s why! We’re trying to gain insight into how COVID-19 is shaping the perspective of this group of students related to fraternity/sorority life.

The video below is a short 32 second clip promoting the value and benefits of sorority life.  Consider asking every member to post this on their social media, post this on your website, share it with incoming students/parents, and send it via text message/DM to a non-affiliated student. Along with it, share your personal story. Here’s an example.

My name is KC. I am proud to be a sorority woman. Before I joined, I wondered if my membership would be worth the dues I paid for my first semester. Then I started seeing myself grow, I got comfortable public speaking, learned how to work alongside others (especially learning to work with those I don’t see eye to eye with), got to manage a $5,000 event budget, and saw my test scores go up. I gained valuable life lessons but meeting some amazing friends to support me and build me up during it all was the cherry on top. 

I hope you consider sorority. It changed my life, and I believe that when women gather together to do good, it changes the world. #ConsideringSorority#sororitylife #iamasororitywoman

The video below is a short 39 second clip promoting the value and benefits of fraternity life. Consider asking every member to post this on their social media, post this on your website, share it with incoming students/parents, and send it via text message/DM to a non-affiliated student. Along with it, share your personal story. Here’s an example.

My name is Alex. I am a proud member of a fraternity. Toward the end of my first year, I got tired of college just being about me. My grades, my relationships, my schedule. Nothing wrong with that but it stopped feeling fulfilling. Like it wasn’t enough. Fraternity gave me a way to change that. People to celebrate wins and fun times of college with. People to work on important service projects with. And of course, people to lift me up when I was down. College became about we instead of about me which has been amazing. 

I hope you consider fraternity. It changed my life, and I believe that when men gather together to do good, it changes the world. #ConsideringFraternity #fraternitylife #iamafraternityman

A Daily Choice |  YouTube | Download File

The video below is a short 46 second clip that teaches viewers that fraternities and sororities are more than just friendship clubs. Consider asking every member to post this on their social media, post this on your website, share it with incoming students/parents, and send it via text message/DM to a non-affiliated student. Along with it, share your personal story. Here’s an example.

My chapter is far more than a “friendship club.” If you’re considering fraternity or sorority life, you should know… Sisterhood and Brotherhood is far more than friendship; more than buddies or besties.  Way more. It’s a shared cause. It’s a common purpose. It’s a commitment to helping each other live as our best self – every day. It’s trust. It’s a promise. It’s a lifelong vow to help me become all that I’m destined to be.

I joined fraternity/sorority life because I wanted to make a difference in my community, and I wanted to surround myself with people who would push me, challenge me, believe in me, and love me during college.

This video features Hailey Mangrum, one of Phired Up’s educators and strategists. In this 2 minute and 21 second video, she explains the many different variations of fraternal organizations. This is a great video to help curious students (and parents) understand the variety of fraternity/sorority experiences that are available. We recommend pointing people the the page on your community’s website that describes your councils and chapters. Here’s an example.

Fraternities and sororities are not all alike. Whatever you might have seen on a movie, probably doesn’t represent the true sorority/fraternity experience. Our organizations are purpose-driven and values-based. They help students find meaning and support in a confusing and challenging college world. Our organizations are historical and have served as powerful forces for positive change on campuses and in society. Will you watch and share this video so that more people understand the truth about fraternities and sororites?

So, Is Joining Worth It? | YouTube | Download File

 

Here’s a video with a quick story from a sorority woman (Haley Cahill-Teubert, one of Phired Up’s educators and strategists) about the VALUE of sorority. It’s a beautifully simple story told in just a minute and a half. This is a great video to post along with your personal REASON WHY IT’S WORTH IT (read this).  It’s also a great video for either undergrads OR alumnae to share! Here’s an example.

 

I love this story about sorority. My sorority experience was (and is) SO worth it! Sorority membership isn’t just beneficial during college. Getting ready for graduation, there were a ton of alumnae in different cities who were  helpful in sharing my resume, recommending jobs to apply for, and connecting me with professionals in my industry they know. Plus, they were super excited to welcome me into their alumnae chapter and help me get settled in a new city. This sisterhood is for life. I never could have had something this powerful and positive in my life with any other college club or group. Sorority is like no other opportunity in college. If you’re interested in sorority, and you’re heading to _______ University, go here to let the women on campus know you’re interested.[LINK TO CAMPUS REGISTRATION]

Are you considering fraernity? Check out this video. Fraternity life is not what most think of. It’s not all fun, social stuff, and dudes just hanging out. My fraternity has experience gave me some of the most powerful personal development and truly meaningful moments of my college life so far. Intense chapter meetings, values exploration workshops, leadership retreats, and these moments of sacred brotherhood that I’m sure you can’t find in a dorm or in an academic club. Fraternity is special.
