RESULTS

The results on the following two graphs show the reasons why members decided to join their fraternities or sororities. The first graph shows the religiously affiliated fraternities and sororities, while the second shows the social organizations.

Next, is a comparison between the religious and social sororities and fraternities and how often the members of each attend church (or another religious service). As expected, the members of religious sororities and fraternities attend church more often then do the members of the social fraternities and sororities.

This chart examines the importance of religion in the lives of members of both the religious and non-religious fraternities and sororities.

Participants who were Christians were asked if they considered themselves to be evangelical Christians. So, on this chart there is a representation of the number of people who first indicated that they were Christian. The second set is the number of Christians who considered themselves to be evangelical.

In order to determine the importance of religion in the lives of the members of these organizations, we asked them questions related to activities that they might participate in. We first asked whether they would participate in a specific activity and then whether they felt that the activity was morally wrong, and that is what is shown in the following charts.

Finally, we wanted to see if there was a connection between the sorority or fraternitiy to which the individuals belonged and other groups that they were involved with on campus. In other words, we wanted to see if they were more likely to be part of groups similar to their fraternity or sorority of choice. Below are two charts that show what other activities that the members of both the religious and non-religious groups were involved in. The section labeled other included things such as student goverment, residence hall association, the UNC band, and cultural organizations.
