Fraternity’s Undergraduate Credit Support Program: G.L.A.D. — Greeks Learning to Avoid Debt In today’s financial landscape, responsible money management is more critical than ever, especially for undergraduate students involved in Greek life. Recognizing the importance of financial literacy, our fraternity has launched the G.L.A.D. initiative— Greeks Learning to Avoid Debt —a comprehensive program designed to educate brothers about the pitfalls of debt and promote sound financial habits. The Vision Behind G.L.A.D. Led by our dedicated chairman, Victory Harper, G.L.A.D. seeks to raise awareness among fraternity members about the potential dangers of accumulating unnecessary debt. Victor Harper emphasizes that financial health is a vital component of personal growth and leadership. His goal is to empower brothers to make informed decisions that will serve them well beyond their undergraduate years. Objectives of the Program Financial Literacy Education: Hosting workshops, seminars, and webinars that cover topics such as budgeting, credit scores, student loans, and responsible borrowing. Debt Avoidance Strategies: Providing practical tips on how to avoid unnecessary expenses, manage existing debt, and build a positive credit history. Resource Sharing: Offering access to financial tools, apps, and resources tailored for students to track spending and savings efforts. Mentorship & Support: Connecting brothers with financial mentors who can guide them through their financial challenges and goals. Why It Matters Many students underestimate the long-term impact of debt incurred during college years. Uncontrolled borrowing can lead to financial hardship post- graduation, affecting career choices, housing options, and overall financial stability. By proactively addressing these issues, G.L.A.D. aims to foster a culture of financial responsibility within our fraternity community.
