The Fraternity Advisor put together a list of lessons President Obama would have learned had he been a member of a fraternity, like so many of our previous presidents have.

    33 Presidents and 17 Vice Presidents of the United States were Greek
    63% of the United States President’s Cabinet since 1900 were Greek
    52% of the US Senate and 33% of the House of Representatives are fraternity and sorority members
    76% of United States Congressman and Senators are Greek
    85% of the Fortune 500 executives are members of Greek organizations
    Of the nation’s 50 largest corporations, 43 are headed by Greeks
    71% of Greek students graduate from college as compared to 50% of non-Greek students
    Somebody should’ve told Obama about the advantages of Greek life. Maybe then, he wouldn’t have run us into the ground so eagerly.
