Help Phrasing a Question

Hello everyone again! I've gotten such helpful advice the last few times I've posted questions, so here's another one!

I'm interested in joining a sorority for the sisterhood, guidance, and small-community aspect, but first and foremost, I'm attending college so that I can get a job after graduation or get into graduate school. I'd like to join a sisterhood with a healthy diversity but at the same time, finding sisters to study with and give me guidance in my major is a huge factor for me. I've researched different honors programs and organizations - some have member biographies which list sorority membership, some do not. What is a delicate and polite way of asking during recruitment parties how many sisters are in a certain program or major? I would assume that that information would be voluntarily offered at some houses but if it's not, how do I weasel it out?

I realize that talking about academics isn't as sexy as talking about crafting, funny stories, or sisterhood events, but it is really important for me. Pragmatism is like prayers: important, but awkward at parties. (Yes, my mom and I have been watching a lot of Downton Abbey).
