    Here are some quick facts about fraternities in the United States:

    All but two U.S. presidents since 1825 have been fraternity men, and 63 percent of the U.S. presidents' cabinet members since 1900 have been fraternity men .

    Studies show that 76 percent of Congress, 71 percent of the men listed in "Who's Who in America," and 85 percent of the Fortune 500 executives belong to a fraternity.


    So do fraternities get a bad rap? Are you still friends with old frat members? Has it helped you wth connections in life? ect...

    Nope, not at all. I was at a very small campus & joined purely for business reasons. We did how ever through the best parties on campus.

    Frats were highly out of favor, and generally thought pathetic in my era.

    My youngest daughter is attending Northwood in West Palm Beach this fall. Playing soccer on scholarship and majoring in Sports Management.

    If you don't mind me asking, what was your major, and how do you feel about your Northwood experience?

    thanks

    IMO the Michigan Campus is best for your major. It's much more involved in the industry. I also majored also in Automotive Marketing/Dealership Management but at the Texas campus. Good luck with your studies & enjoy NADA convention if you go.

    Right, I concur that the Michigan is the best for my major. But Palm Beach is Palm Beach anyway you slice it. Go down there for winter term ;)

    Do you think going to NU has helped you get to where you are now?
