Membership in a Fraternity or Sorority, Student Engagement, and Educational Outcomes at AAU Public Research Universities

Research involving 6,782 undergraduates (50% first-year students, 50% seniors, 16% fraternity/sorority members, and 58% females) at 15 AAU public research universities revealed that Greek affiliation had a weak positive relationship with engagement and gains in learning. The effects for Greek affiliation were stronger for seniors than first-year students.
