Are women in sororities really less politically involved than their non-Greek counterparts?
- Most Americans see the biggest growth in their levels of political activism while attending college
- The insular nature of Greek life means that many sorority members are less exposed to political influences at school, and thus don't grow like their non-Greek counterparts
- Strong social values also influence women in sororities to keep quiet about their political views to avoid possible adverse effects
Are there sorority women involved in the political arena?
- Of the 84 sitting congresswomen, 22 were in sororities
