Include Details
The easiest way to explain the importance of your
experience in Greek life is to provide concrete details.
Be specic about the tasks you completed. If you don’t
provide details about what you did, employers will ll
in those blanks on their own, which could be either
a benet or a detriment. Provide the company with
tangible insights into your experiences and skills. Also,
try to use the word member rather than sister/brother/
rushee.
