Parent & Family Information

For your son or daughter, making the transition from high school or another institution of higher education to Drake may seem like an imposing yet exciting challenge.

A fraternity or sorority can help personalize your son or daughter’s college experience by offering:

•  a scholastic support system,

• hands-on experience in leading,

•  managing budgets,

•  interacting with faculty and administrators,

• exposure to potential careers through educational programs and discussions with alumni,

• the chance to give back to the community through service projects, and

• close friends who will cheer him/her on when they are successful and support them when times are tough.

With all these opportunities available, you can understand that members of fraternities and sororities tend to graduate from college at a higher rate than those men and women not involved.
