While employment industry experts agree that networking is the most effective method of job searching, (above online, newspapers and all advertising combined), simply being a member of a GLO does not leap-frog an applicant over non-Greeks to becoming hired.
Being chosen or being a member of a fraternity or sorority does not make one more skilled, intelligent, experienced or better than anyone else. Common hobbies, affiliations, and activities may make for some good conversation, but I think it's a little naive to think someone would hire (or think that they would be hired) just because of Greek affiliation.
There are many leadership opps and success stories out there for Greeks, but I think because the general population is not "greek friendly" or informed, I don't think that the supposition is at all accurate.
