Abstract: It was the purpose of this study to investigate the comparative relationship between members and nonmembers of fraternities and sororities in academic achievement at four historically black schools in North Carolina during the period 1974-1979. It was hypothesized that no significant relationship exists between students participating in fraternities and sororities and those not participating, in terms of academic achievement. It was also hypothesized that no significant difference exists between members and nonmembers in academic achievement as measured by the attainment or nonattainment of honors at graduation. Thirdly, it was hypothesized that no significant difference exists between members and nonmembers when the grade point average two years after matriculation was controlled. The subjects were 641 members and 376 nonmembers of fraternities and sororities. All of the nonmember subjects were randomly selected from the graduating classes, and the total membership of the fraternities and sororities was used.
