Used ChatGPT to format and paraphrase parts of the thread but all the ideas and conclusions i arrived on my own.
So I did some digging regarding this and found out that yes studies consistently show Greek affiliated men earn 20-36 % more in their 20s than unaffiliated peers, even controlling for SAT, major, and school quality
But the thing to note here is that frat bros heavily rely on their connections to get them their jobs. The biggest gap is in the exact industries where being a good hang and having 200+ pre-vetted bros matters. Stuff like investment banking (bulge bracket and boutique), Big 4 consulting, enterprise SaaS sales, commercial real estate etc
Height + decent face + Greek letters + varsity sport = you're literally fast tracked into interviews and offers that non connected normies never even see
But they seem to all be early bloomers. In the end the guy who mogs the hardest is that quite hardworking STEMcel kid.
Stats show frat guys have 0.25 point lower GPAs on average and while they earn more early on, that edge fades by mid career as real talent or nepotism without the frat boost catches up. Many end up in dead end jobs like insurance sales or regional management and top out at max at around 180-200k
while the quiet STEM guy who got mogged in college is quietly hitting $600k+ total comp at FAANG or a hedge fund by 32. And the real money mogging starts when these people hit near 40. The STEM guy is already a multi Millionaire while the frat bro still stuck..
TLDR- Early on yes they mog but in the long run no.
