| The Facts: 85 percent of the Fortune 500 executives are members of Greek organizations. 25 United States Presidents have belonged to Greek-letter organizations. Fraternities and sororities have maintained a higher grade point average than the undergraduate average at most universities. Greek organization members have a higher graduation rate than non-members. A study by the Center for the Study of College Fraternities found that fraternity and sorority members are significantly more satisfied with their college experience than non-members. 63 percent of the U.S. President's cabinet since 1900 have been fraternity men. 77 percent of Who's Who in America are Greek. (From Greek Facts.) Sheryl Crow, Jimmy Buffet, Ashton Kutcher, Drew Carey, Adam Sandler, "Babe" Ruth, E. B. White, Bill Clinton, Alfonse D'Amato, George H. W. Bush, George W. Bush, Captain James Lovell (Astronaut from Apollo 13), Orville Redenbacker, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Dave Thomas, and Colonel Sanders are all Greek. * * * Being involved in a Greek organization not only introduces you to MANY new people, it lets you become more INVOLVED in your campus and help out the surrounding community. Scholarships are easier to come by. Leadership skills are acquired, life-long friendships are made, and opportunities are endless.
