Without further ado...

Greek Statistics

• 71% of those listed in "Who's Who in America" belong to a fraternity.
• Of the nation's 50 largest corporations, 43 are headed by fraternity men.
• 85% of the Fortune 500 executives belong to a fraternity.
• 40 of 47 U.S. Supreme Court Justices since 1910 were fraternity men.
• 76% of all Congressmen and Senators belong to a fraternity.
• Every U.S. President and Vice President, except two in each office, born since the first social fraternity was founded in 1825 have been members of a fraternity.
• 80% of US Presidents since 1900 are greek verified
• 63% of the U.S. President's Cabinet members since 1900 have been Greek.
• A National Conference report shows a majority of the 600 NIC fraternity chapters are above the All-Men's scholastic average.
• A U.S. Government study shows that over 70% of all those who join a fraternity/sorority graduate, while under 50% of all non-fraternity/sorority persons graduate. (also vaguely recall it mentioned this was a Univ. of Missouri study; unable to verify so far)
• Less than 2% of an average college student's expenses go toward fraternity/sorority dues.
• Over 85% of the student leaders on some 730 campuses are involved in the Greek community.
• Over $7 million is raised every year by Greeks nationally.
• 850,000 hours are volunteered by Greeks annually.
• There are 123 fraternities and sororities with 9 million members total.
• There are 750,000 undergraduate members in 12,000 chapters on more than 800 campuses in USA and Canada
• The Greek system is the largest network of volunteers in the US, with members donating over 10 million hours of volunteer service each year
• The Greek system is the largest not-for-profit student landlord in the US, with over $3 billion in assets and more than 250,000 students living in Greek housing in more than 8,000 facilities

P.S (according to someone on GreekChat) Apparently Lyndon B. Johnson was in a local that later joined PiKA, although he was never initiated into PiKA and is not recognized by PiKA as a brother.

Funny... I heard the local later became a Sigma Nu chapter.
