Getting a job because of Greek ties?

[BlueCarnation]

Does anyone think they have ever gotten a job because of their membership in a fraternity or sorority? I was recently lucky enough to get a job thanks to a woman who is in another sorority who I serve on a board with. She actually told me she prefers to hire people who were in the Greek system.

Has anyone experienced this? I know that many of you have other co-workers who are Greek.
