16. Should You Join a Fraternity? By Julie Gordon Business fraternities consistently attract members from top B-schools, but there are pros and cons to signing up. Thanks to advice from his fraternity brothers, Parshant Mittan, a rising junior at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania knows to leave the last button open on a three-button suit jacket. As a member of the Alpha Kappa Psi business fraternity -- one of three at Wharton -- Mittan received that tip and several others, which helped him land an internship this summer at Goldman Sachs (GS). Even though Mittan got interview through on-campus recruiting, he took part in mock interviews with brothers, which prepared him for the real thing. Senior members also taught him how to use Wharton's online career-services portal and offered guidance on his career aspirations. Opportunities to network and learn about job-related skills are enhanced in business fraternities because members are surrounded by like-minded students and alumni who work in related fields. However, many undergraduates say they make connections and learn about the corporate world through other professional organizations, social fraternities and sororities, campus career centers, and targeted recruiting efforts. With all those other organizations and networking opportunities, you're left to wonder whether business fraternities are beneficial or a waste of time. The first business fraternity -- Alpha Kappa Psi -- began at New York University in 1904, after the university founded the School of Commerce, Accounts, and Finance in 1900. Three years later, another small group of male students created Delta Sigma Pi at New York University, which became the country's second business fraternity. Though both organizations started as single-sex, they are now co-ed.
