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.

Not really but being a college athlete would boost you to a certain level.

These are top companies, they need raw talent above everything.

Of course there is some nepotism but the more skill based the job, the less they can afford it.

Read all. Yeah it’s pretty well known, fraternities are only good for temporary fun and fame. All that shit leaves when you’re in the real world.

Can't really answer this since I have no experience in being in one. But most people in fraternities are there to just party, fuck knocked up coom dumps, and get wasted. And they eventually drop out of college anyways. None of them care about an education.

I think it might just have more to do with the types of kids who end up joining frats. Wealthier kids just are more likely to have that sort of inclination.

Yeah

It’s more for people who just want to have a fun time in college rather than learn things

Yup, one of my neighbours son went to UC Santa Barbara or something and just partied. He eventually ended up dropping out and now wage slaves at a Trader Joe's I think.

Ignore anyone that down talks frats. Frats are the highest social position you can be in college and if you’re intelligent at all, you can use them to gain tons of useful connections. It’s an instant high status friend group the second you go into university.

Only people that down talk on frats are jealous normies (most frat hate happens on Reddit.) so it doesn’t matter.

If you have to ask this question,
YOU WILL NEVER BE A QUANT OR WORK IN A HEDGE FUND!!!!!


and your also talking about the top 2% of steam majors btw when you say those numbers/stats. But if were using this logic the top 2% in any major is going to be making $100k plus

Quant is something you have to start griding for starting at the age of 16, it is way too late for you im sorry

n frats/greek life is just a money grab for people who wanna pay for friends, n dont think about pussy, cause you'll get pussy if you look good, not cause your in a frat
