And while I am very proud of my Greek affiliation and involvement, I am even more proud that every job that I have ever had was offered to me based on merit.

I would hope that an eventual job offer would be made based on merit. But, in today's economic climate, having contacts, whether through family or friendships, including fraternity or sorority members, can be invaluable to get your foot in the door.
My saying is always, "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth!" and take advantage of every contact you can!!
When my son says something like, "I met so and so's dad, he is a partner at blah di blah." I advise him to keep up with him because he might be looking for a job there one day.
