Greek Life

I found this on the SUU website!


Higher education studies have shown that men and women who join fraternities or sororities are:

  1. more pleased with their college experience
  2. attain higher grades while in college
  3. graduate at higher levels than non-affiliated students
  4. remain active and loyal after graduation

A recent study by the US Government shows that 71% of all members graduate from college while 50% of non-Greeks graduate from college
All but two US Presidents since 1825 have been affiliated
Seven out of ten people listed in Who's Who in America are affiliated
Three-fourths of US Congress is affiliated
Forty-three of the nations fifty largest corporations are under the leadership of a sorority or fraternity member
Eighty-five percent of the Fortune 500 executives are members of fraternities or sororities
Since 1920, 85% of all Supreme Court justices have been members of a fraternity or sorority
More than seven million men and women in the US and Canada are affiliated

Yay! Stats like these make me smile! I also hear that quite a few of the LDS general authorities are fraternity members!
