Students affiliated with Greek-lettered organizations scored lower on assessments to measure openness to diversity than did students who were not affiliated, and Greek members' openness to diversity declined after the first year of college.
“Other researchers have indicated that students affiliated with Greek-lettered organizations scored lower on assessments to measure openness to diversity than did students who were not affiliated and that Greek members' openness to diversity declined after the first year of college (Pascarella, Edison, Nora, Hagedorn, & Terenzini, 1996;Whipple & Sullivan, 1998a).”

Sorority alumni and non-affiliated students were more satisfied with their academic performance than were fraternity alumni.
“In a study of 2,200 alumni who were either affiliated or unaffiliated, results revealed that sorority alumni and non-affiliated students were more satisfied with their academic performance than were fraternity alumni (DeBard et al., 2006;Pascarella, Edison, Whitt, et al., 1996;Whipple, 1998).”

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.
