The 4 that I mentioned all conduct recruitment much like the Panhellenics.
Also, they have to abide by the rules of the campus. No drinking, no dancing, male students are only allowed in the common lobby area of the female dorms, female students are forbidden to enter the male dorms, and there is a curfew. All reasons why I chose to go to a public school. A friend and myself were the only 2 at my church who went to public colleges. The rest, about 15-20 while I was there, went to the church related schools.

I just wanted to point out that not all religiously-affiliated schools are like this. Pepperdine, where I went, is also a Church of Christ school, and it's not at all like what you listed here. But I also realize that Pepperdine is known as the "liberal" CoC school and many of its students practice a completely different or no religion. There is no drinking on campus, but that's pretty much it. It also has a very active NATIONAL greek system with 7 NPCs, 5 NIC/IFC and no locals.
