Argument and Counterargument
My argument for my paper is that college students who are involved in Greek life are more likely to possess soft skills than those who are not. I discuss two different origins of these skills: before college or during college. Greek life recruitment may act as a pre-screener as they take in new members who already possess soft skills. The Greek organizations may also help students develop these skills through leadership and other experiences. Regardless of the origin, businesses recognize Greek lettered organizations of having a close relationship with graduates who possess soft skills.
My counterargument would be that soft skills are simply not necessary within the professional world. It has been argued that if an applicant has the technical skills required to fulfill the job demands, they will do the best job possible. As the economy is slowing changing to one of information rather than one of physical skill, there is an increase in the need for people who have interpersonal and communication skills. Although my counterargument is valid, it is slowly disintegrating because of the change in society into the modern working world, commanded by businesses and technology.
