Penn Frats Are Top-Tier In Cyberspace
For many recent Penn grads, it’s been a journey from Beige Block to Silicon Alley. A recent article from Business Insider recognizes a certain league of bros, mainly from ZBT, that have gone on to run tech startups in New York.
From the CEO of Groupon to the founders of the Webby Awards and Trendabl, it’s as if there isn’t a corner of the interwebz that Penn grads haven’t yet appropriated. Time will tell if the next installment of this list will acknowledge Circl.es, the glaring omission from the roundup. In the meanwhile, secret handshake time!

CEO Groupon New York
Mainly from ZBT/OZ
To clarify, none of these guys are affiliated with the current ZBT chapter at Penn. These were all from the former organization (now known as OZ), back when ZBT was an illustrious fraternity on this campus, not the socially irrelevant excuse that is the current incarnation of the chapter, whose pledges seem to comprise almost entirely of rejects from AEPi, TEP, Sammy, and others. No need to falsely associate these prominent successful alums with the subpar reputation of the current chapter.

ZBT, Theta Chapter
Class of 2003 (same pledge class as Ryan Harwood)
