"Going Greek", in this context, means becoming a member of a Greek organization, such as a fraternity or a sorority. You may be surprised to find that only 2% of the population of the United States 
have gone Greek, yet over 85% of the top executives from Fortune 500 companies are Greek. Of the nation's 50 largest corporations, 43 of them are held by Greek men and women. All but eight U.S. Presidents were involved in fraternities since 1825 when the first social fraternity was founded. Being Greek is more than just wearing letters and having fun in college - it's a way of life. Philanthropy and community service is a large part of the Greek lifestyle, with 850,000 hours being donated by Greek individuals every year. The benefits of joining a fraternity or sorority last long after you graduate from college. The ideals you learn from brotherhood as well as the values of your fraternity are with you for the rest of your life!
