There is zero correlation between % Greek population of a student body and annual donations to that university. Hell, UT Austin is one of the richest universities in the world, taking in way more in annual donations than LSU, and less than 5% of the student body is Greek. Sorry, but your point is simply wrong.
When I was an undergrad in the early 00's half of all donations to LSU came from Greeks. Granted I am sure that is from some major donors but it is still significant. I do not know if that still stands but it is significant.

1) Run the counterfactual -- Would LSU still get those donations with a smaller percentage of Greeks? Evidence from other universities indicates "yes." Hell -- if there was a positive correlation between % of Greeks and donations, SEC schools should be the richest schools in the world. They aren't. Other schools get a lot more in donations.
2) I mean no offense by this, but I am highly skeptical that you had any idea where donations came from when you were an undergraduate at LSU. Not too many undergraduates have inside info from the LSUAA or the Provost's office. Again, no offense, but I call bullshite.
