Sports teams with the most greeks
I haven't really thought about other teams, but the Denver Broncos comes to mind:

Mike Shannahan - Delta Sig
Ed McCaffrey - SAE
John Elway - Delt

Any ideas?

what about
What about BGLOs? I am sure that there are plenty of athletes out there who are members of BGLOs. I know Shaq is, Emmitt Smith, and I'm sure there are plenty of others.

I'm sure there are huge numbers of fraternity and sorority members on professional sports teams.

In The Rainbow, our Fraternity magazine, there are generally two or three pages devoted to college and professional athletes.

You can find back issues at www.delts.org

I will just point out (again) that Delt claims three former SuperBowl MVP Quarterbacks:

John Elway, Denver Broncos
Jim Plunkett, Oakland Raiders
Mark Ripien, Washington Redskins (as usual, I'm sure I spelled his name incorrectly)

On the New York Knicks, both Charlie Ward (Omega Psi Phi) and Allan Houston (Kappa Alpha Psi) are Greek... I can't think of any others right now.

Bro. Karl Malone NBA-Utah Jazz Louisiana Tech Iota Upsilon
Bro. Olden Polynice NBA-Utah Jazz UVA Zeta Eta
Bro. Scottie Pippen NBA-Chicago Bulls, Portland Trailblazers
Bro. Larry Brown NFL Georgia Zeta Nu
Bro. Emmitt Smith NFL-Dallas Cowboys Florida Univ. Zeta Kappa
Bro. Charles (Charlie) Batch NFL-Detroit Lions East Michigan Univ. Zeta Epsilon
Bro. Lomas Brown NFL-NY Gaints Univ. of Florida Zeta Kappa
Bro. Jerry Rice NFL-SF 49ers Miss Valley State Delta Phi
Bro. Willie Davis NFL-Tennessee Titans Arkansas Kappa Upsilon
Bro. Marcus Patton NFL-Washington Redskins UCLA Nu Delta

Some of you aren't understanding the point:

Which sports TEAMS have the most greeks on the team, not which fraternity has the most pro athletes.....
