Fraternity men represent a very small percentage, only 2 percent, of the male population in the United States. However, that 2 percent is a very powerful group of individuals! Fraternity men have gone on to hold the top positions in our nation, from the business world to the political arena.
- Approximately 80% of the top executives of Fortune 500 companies are fraternity men.
- The majority (71%) of those listed in Who's Who in America are fraternity men.
- 76% of current United States senators and congressmen are fraternity men.
- 40 of 47 Supreme Court justices since 1910 have been fraternity men.
- 100 of 158 cabinet members since 1900 have been fraternity men.
- All but 2 United States presidents since 1825 have been fraternity men.
