Why Rush A Fraternity
You already know on campus fraternities are great places to meet
people. But did you know that, aside from the philanthopy, weekend parties, and the alumni mixers, your greek organization
could be the jumping-off point for your college business? It's true from the networking possiblilities to have a pre-made
focus group that can judge your ideas, your in a good entrepreneurial petri dish. "Think about your active fraternity,
chapter, and your alumni group-both can help you," says Richard Scruggs, director of the Center for New Ventures and Entrepreneurship
at Texas A&M University in Houston. Your fraternity brothers, for example, might be the labor force to help you
launch your product or service on campus. If you're talking to the alumni constituency, you might find some experienced
lawyers, accountants, bankers, manufacturers, or even a mentor.
