Fraternity life may not be like “Animal House’ after all.
In fact, joining a fraternity just may be the best way to study and insure graduation, according to morris Lemay, director of Oregon State University’s Counseling and Testing Center.
Lemay recently completed a study at that campus which shows that 54 per-cent of the freshmen who joined fraternities in 1974 graduated, while OnlY 44 percent of non-fraternity freshmen received their degrees.
Lemay is not quite sure what causes He discrepancy. but speculates it may be the close personal ties usually developed between students at fraternities.
“Students pledging to fraternities tend to begin having good friendship earlier than most people,” Lemay says. “These friends they quickly make help them get over early rough spots as far as studying is concerned.”
