How this list is built
Both recorded percentages must be below 5%: undergraduate men in fraternities and undergraduate women in sororities, and each school must have a source we can cite for them. Schools missing either value or a source are excluded. Schools must also have a graduation rate of at least 50%. This is low recorded participation, not a claim that no Greek organizations exist. For-profit schools are not included, and each list shows at most 30 schools.
Fraternity and sorority participation: GradFax curated data, with the source linked on each school page. Only schools with a cited source are listed. Graduation rate, acceptance rate and net price: IPEDS. Earnings and median debt: College Scorecard.
