Research Findings

As of 2021, the National Panhellenic Conference and the North American Interfraternity Conference renewed our collaboration with Gallup on a new nationwide survey of college graduates 鈥� including sorority/fraternity alumni. As part of this partnership, Gallup surveyed the experiences of fraternity and sorority alumni members (鈥渁ffiliated alumni鈥�) with those who were not fraternity and sorority members (鈥渘onaffiliated alumni鈥�). 鈥嬧�嬧�嬧�嬧�嬧�婫allup has now released the results of the survey in the report "."

Survey results highlight strong relationships between fraternity and sorority membership and the reported strength of the college experience, feelings of preparation for life after college and general wellbeing. Moreover, this research shows that our members are prepared, they鈥檙e more likely to thrive across their personal and professional lives and they鈥檙e more likely to be engaged with their alma maters and in their communities.聽

Some key findings from the survey include:

  • Majorities of affiliated alumni are thriving in every area of their wellbeing: 62% in career wellbeing, 66% in community wellbeing, 51% in financial wellbeing, 53% in physical wellbeing and 62% in social wellbeing.
  • Affiliated alumni reporting a higher likelihood of finding a good job quickly聽after graduation. More than half of fraternity and sorority alumni, compared to just 36% of nonaffiliated alumni, had accepted a job offer or found employment within two months of graduation.
  • Eighty-four percent would still join their fraternity or sorority,聽if they had to do it all over again.聽
  • More than one in five affiliated alumni (23%), versus 14% of nonaffiliated alumni,聽report having a professor who cared about them as a person聽and made them excited about learning, and had a mentor who encouraged them to pursue their goals and dreams.
  • A majority of affiliated alumni are 鈥減romoters鈥� of their institution, based on their likelihood to recommend it.聽Nearly two-thirds (65%) of affiliated alumni聽selected a 9 or 10 on a scale where 10 is the highest likelihood to聽recommend their alma mater, compared with 43% of nonaffiliated alumni.
