Introduction: My research question for this project is: Why do students not join a Greek organization? I will conduct a survey from a sample of 100 students at NMSU to research this question. The Greek community at NMSU consists of six sororities and fourteen fraternities. This number is quite small for a Greek community.

Not only are the number of fraternities and sororities smaller but so is the number of members each sorority and fraternity has. On many campuses the individual Greek organizations have one hundred members, but on our campus each chapter has forty to sixty members.
