I heard “frat bros” tend to get business degrees and that “sorority girls” get “Mrs. degrees”.
How much of that is true today?
How would you feel if “frat bros” and even some “sorority girls” were inspired to go into science and engineering because astronauts became exciting and inspirational again?
There is this show on Apple TV called “For All Mankind” and the astronauts on it are good looking and hard partying yet smart.
I don’t think those stereotypes were valid even 50 years ago. I have sorority sisters (from 40+ years ago) who are NASA engineer, engineer with a law degree who owns several patents, a Pulitzer prize winner, a very successful real estate agent, bankers, teachers, doctors, run businesses, etc.
More recently, my daughter is an engineer and many of her friends from the sorority have masters degrees in their fields (psychology, engineering, business). My other daughter is about to start her masters program. Most sororities have higher gpa’s than the campus average.
If you want to join a sorority, go through Rush and ask your questions. All campuses are different in how they incorporate Greeks into the campuses. Harvard makes they stay off campus while Yale welcomes them as student organizations. Some offer housing while others do not, or use private houses off campus.
Depends on the campus and the chapter.
While some stereotypes may be true on average (e.g. more alcohol drinking is associated with fraternity and sorority participation), some campuses and chapters may be very different from the average.
I agree with @ucbalumnus . Chapters can vary widely from campus to campus.
You can choose what you want to take away from your experience in Greek life - whether you’re just looking to party and meet people or you’re looking for career networking opportunities or you’re wanting to get involved in raising money for charitable causes. You have to do your due diligence in finding the right fit.
There are also many different types of organizations. If you’re not looking for a party culture, there are chapters associated with religious groups and academics.
Greek life is not for everyone but it’s unfortunate that it’s often portrayed in a negative light by those who’ve never participated in it.
Agree with @twoinanddone. I graduated in the late '70’s and my sorority sisters were interested in getting our educations and having careers. Most (not all) also got married but that wasn’t our focus. That may vary by campus. As for the guys in fraternities, they were also interested in getting educations. A small number were the stereotypical “frat boys” but most of them were nice guys.
For reference, this was at a medium sized university in the midwest. School was (and still is about 30% greek).
My D was not interested in greek life, her school was only 1% greek. Several of her HS friends pledged at other schools and enjoyed sorority life. They were all good students.
I would like to point out that our present Vice President belonged to a sorority, so did Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Condoleezza Rice, Toni Morrison, Elizabeth Warren, and many more prominent politicians, business women, writers, actresses, singers, etc.
Very campus and chapter specific. My son, president of his large frat, is in vet school, several of his pledge brothers are going to law school, a couple to med school, several to PhD or masters programs in STEM field and a lot of engineers and architecture majors. Similar outcomes from his girlfriend’s sorority. Many going into med fields or STEM grad programs, less engineers and law school (but still some).
Both of kids belonged to the same sorority at the same school. 
The older one got her degree in math/econ, younger one in philosophy. I don’t think any of their sorority sisters are stay home mom (not that there is anything wrong with it). D1 is over 30 and some of her sorority sisters are just getting married now. I would say most of them have pretty meaningful careers and some of them are even the major breadwinner in their relationships.
Both of my girls were typical that they worked hard and played hard while in college. Now they are out of college they still push themselves pretty hard and able to handle many competing demands.
