  <title><![CDATA[Is "Going Greek" Right for Your Student?]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>What if there were an organization your student could join that would make him or her more likely to return for a second year, more likely to graduate, possibly more involved, and academically supported during his or her time at Georgia Tech? There are many unique benefits for students who join a fraternity or sorority at Georgia Tech. These organizations, among the oldest establishments on campus, provide a vital social outlet that teaches leadership skills, pushes them through and civic engagement, and produces a happier, well-rounded student.</p>

<p>Becoming Greek can be an excellent opportunity for someone who is looking to gain additional learning and support, get involved, and connect with their peers. Visit <a href="http://www.greek.gatech.edu">greek.gatech.edu</a> to learn more about the programs and educational opportunities provided by our community as well as information about the upcoming recruitment period this fall. Attending an event to learn more does not obligate your student in any of these organizations, so encourage your student to find out more. We look forward to seeing you and your student at FASET!</p>

  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me
         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
