From the fraternity house to the White House, 17 U.S. Presidents understood the value of going Greek. TFM.

    Thought it was more than that. Who was the first and who hasn’t been a fratstar since?

      Depends on whether or not you consider the prolific amount of secret societies and freemasons. Or if you only mean college fraternities.

      If Obama tried to rush at any SEC school he would have never made it off the property.

      Just a question, but what does the 91 signify in your name? Is that your birth year or something else?

      I calls em like I sees em. If only 17 presidents have been greek then that means non greeks make better presidents. The 91 is for the 91st Training Division.

      Only 2-3% of the nation is Greek, while 37% (17/44) of presidents are Greek… so more Greeks become president proportional to their demographic.

      Nice try, brah. Friendly advice- go check out totalgdimove.com, I think you’ll feel more comfortable there.

      By that logic the Republican party is full of poor ignorant idiots, since the megawealthy and intellectuals are predominantly democratic.

      The “megawealthy” are definitely NOT “predominantly democratic”.

      Take Fratwall’s advice.

      The two richest men in the country are Democrats. Bill Gates and Warren Buffett. And those are the only two I bothered to look up.

      So the political opinions of TWO people define the “megawealthy” as a whole?

      I just looked up all the billionaires in the US. All but 2 of them are democrats. The two poorest ones are Republican.

      You didn’t respond to my point sc”bro”…

      I think you’re probably a very grumpy pike who is mad about all the shitting on pike that we do. Its okay bro, just go talk to your social club about it.

      Lol pike, even I have standards. Here is my source. : http://tinyurl.com/3lgplgo Rinse and repeat.

      Yes I am a democrat, because I work in the field of History, and we are still reeling from Ronald Reagan’s stupid decision to cut funding and destroy the American identity. He thought the private sector would take up the slack because America’s history was worth saving. He was wrong, apparently people must think America sucks, because no one has stepped up.

      Reagan literally has nothing to do with my argument. Neither does your political alignment. I’ll assume they’re directed at someone else.

      I get that you’re pointing out examples of rich democrats, but I fail to understand how that addresses my point in any way. I simply stated that greeks represent a very low percentage of the population (2-3%) while 37% of our Presidents have been Greek. Originally, you argued that the post seemed to postulate that “GDIs make better leaders than greeks.” So, I clearly proved that this was untrue by explaining that when 2-3% of the population is occupying 37% of the presidency, they are clearly represented very frequently in light of the smaller numbers in comparison to non-Greeks. The original post does not, therefore, indicate that Non-Greeks are better leaders. Now I hope you could follow along with that, seeing how you’re a history “major.” I call that Pre-Military Studies.

      Oh and the google thing was cute, I wish I didn’t have a life and could browse nerd blogs to learn how to do that… Sucks to be me.

      I meant post a source that says the megawealthy are all democrats. Citing Gates and Buffett being democrats is not a source.

    Seeing as there were very few Greek organizations in the late 1700s and early 1800s plus the time it takes to get old enough to run for president after college, of course there werent many Greeks in office until several decades after the founding of our country.

    It’s literally every President that attended a school that at the time had a Greek system went Greek, with the exception of Obama.
