It is a well known statistic that many successful women throughout history were at one point members of a sorority. Some excelled in business or the arts. Another notable accomplishment is serving in public office. What sorority do you think has had the most alumni who became politicians? According to Wikipedia, out of the 26 National Panhellenic Conference there are 6 organizations with more than 10 alumni who made it into the political arena by either being elected or appointed.

Whoa, so the Thetas blow everyone else out of the water in this respect. So if you want to go into politics, going Theta is looking like a historically wise move.
This list is stacked. Just to name a few:
Nancy Kassebaum Baker –  former United States Senator and the first woman elected to the United States Senate who had not succeeded her husband or first been appointed to fill an unexpired term
Mary Fallin – 1st woman to be elected Lieutenant Governor of Oklahoma; 1st woman to be elected Governor of Oklahoma; U.S. House of Representatives
Barbara Brandriff Crabb – Senior United States District Judge
