McCabe and Trevino (1997) found that students more active in extracurricular activities reported more academic dishonesty and the behavior was higher among fraternity/sorority members than nonmembers or students active in other groups.
“The researchers used random sampling techniques to survey students (n = 1,793) at nine state institutions and found students more active in extracurricular activities reported more academic dishonesty and the behavior was higher among fraternity/sorority members than nonmembers or students active in other groups.”

The review found that researchers consistently have found relationships between cheating and fraternity/sorority membership since 1970, though they have also shown similar effects for participation in other forms of extracurricular activity.
“With regard to academic dishonesty, researchers consistently have found relationships between cheating and fraternity/sorority membership since 1970 (Whitley, 1998), though they have also shown similar effects for participation in other forms of extracurricular activity (McCabe & Trevino, 1997).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
