What To Do After You Graduate

September 1st, 2010

Seems like just yesterday…you were a young, innocent freshman, lost on campus and eager to meet new people. So you decided to be a part of Greek life in order to make some friends. And boy, did you! It was the best four years of your life and you’ll never forget all of the great times you had. Now wake up. It’s been a while since graduation and you miss all those great times. How do you get them back?

There are many ways for Greek alumni to stay actively involved in their organizations through employment. Yes, that’s right. You can work for your organization. In fact, did you know some organizations don’t even require you to be a Greek alum in order to work for a Greek organization? Many people find it an extremely rewarding experience and say that it helps them feel less disconnected from their college experiences. So what kinds of jobs are available? That depends largely on your organization, since each one is unique and operates differently.

But here are some strategies to help you find out. A great way to start is by contacting the national headquarters of your sorority or fraternity. HQs are often looking for people who know the ins and outs of Greek life as well as how to effectively run an organization. So if you have either of those skills, you’re a pretty good candidate. If you have both of those skills, then you’re a great one. Belong to a local organization? Then your best bet is probably to ask your chapter’s current president or alumni adviser about any available opportunities. Also, your former college or university can be a useful tool, as they frequently need Greek representatives to be a part of staff administrative positions.

Don’t forget that your most valuable resource is yourself. There’s always a need for people with fresh new ideas and capabilities in any organization, so if there currently isn’t an opening for the type of job you want, market yourself and create it!
