As with everything else, statistics about greek life don't show the whole picture.

The kind of people who generally go through recruitment and go to fraternity parties are *already* relatively social people. These are the kinds of people who would probably be in sexual relationships and drinking at the bars regardless of whether they were in a greek org or not.

So the survey is really looking at social people vs. all people on campus.

It's kind of like looking at greek GPA vs. all campus-- you have to have a minimum GPA to join most greek orgs, so of course the numbers are going to be skewed higher...

That said, yeah, the uprotected sex thing is really not good.
