  • All but two U.S. Vice-Presidents were Greek.
  • 7 out of 10 people listed in Who's Who are Greek.
  • Both females elected to the Supreme Court were Greek.
  • 85 % of the Fortune 500 executives are Greek.
  • Of the nation's 50 largest corporations, 43 are headed by Greeks.
  • 63 % of the President's Cabinet since 1900 have been Greek.
  • Over 70 % of Greeks graduate, while only 50% of non-Greeks graduate.

  • Over 85 % of student leaders on over 730 campuses Greeks.
