Playing devil's advocate: One reason that many people might think this is because so many fraternities play up this aspect as a reason to join. If you talk to chapter members during rush or read the chapter website, you will see an emphasis on "how many successful business alumni we have", "the alumni will be there to help you after college", and "you'll make connections to help you in your life and/or career after graduation".

Like DBB said, it depends on the regions and like someone else said it depends on how much effort you put into the chapter when you were there.
