I don't know about the social connections angle so much. If you're the type of person who really gets into that, i.e, would be in a fraternity or sorority, there are advantages. But as a more introverted/tech type person I didn't maintain contact with any friends or roommates from college much at all after graduation, nor they me. I can't point to any particular social connections from college that benefited me afterwards.

Fraternities and sororities are not anything like I mean. I learn a lot from from college friends in other and the same fields. It teaches me a lot about the world, which is essential for identifying new areas for startups. I can bounce ideas off them and get feedback from entirely different perspectives; college is a great base for developing broad set of connections that all share at least a minimum amount of interest in critical thought.
