Why do we list “house”?

85% of Fortune 500 executives were part of Greek life. The first female astronaut was Greek. So was the first female senator. And college graduation rates are 20% higher among Greeks than non-Greeks. Which begs an obvious question: Does being in a fraternity or sorority increase your chance for success? – USA Today

We emphatically believe the answer to this question is “YES!” Many of our client referrals have come from our Greek families and we love to share our stories about how Greek Life positively impacted each of our lives in college – and how it continues to do so after graduation.
