How do fraternities and sororities members vote?

I am agreement with both of the replies above. My own observation in college and since has been that fraternities and sororities actually draw from fairly different pools. Fraternity membership tends to be driven more by similarity in interests; young men join fraternities because they're interested in the frat lifestyle, et cetera, and this tends to be less dependent on their ethnic or socioeconomic background. By contrast, the decision to join a sorority for young women tends to be much more motivated by who they are; if you're a white woman whose family has money, then it's the thing to do, especially if your mother was in a sorority. The result is that sorority members tend to have more diverse interests; my own interests when I was in college put me in touch with many sorority members but few fraternity members.

From the standpoint of politics, I suspect that this means that sorority members would be somewhat more representative of voting patterns among young upper middle class white women than fraternity members would be for the analogous group of men. The people I know are certainly not a representative sample, but my friends who were in sororities in college were generally Harris/Warren types and all enthusiastically supported Biden in the general election. My one close friend who was in a fraternity was undecided about his primary preference until the field clearing out rendered his decision moot; he did some phonebanking for Biden last fall.

Sorry to necro an old thread, but there's a precinct in Knoxville (10-W) where virtually the entire population is in UTK's Sorority Village. It voted for Trump by a fairly amount in 2016 (68%-25%) and then had a tie in 2020.

Unfortunately, only 18 votes were cast in precinct 10W in 2020, so I'm not sure how usable these results are. In 2018, the precinct voted 22 to 12 for Lee but 21 to 12 for Bredesen.

There were 69 votes cast there in 2016, so this may have been a result of the unusual circumstances of the 2020 election. We'll see how many votes are cast in that precinct next month.

It's interesting because despite the overall college+ and non-college trends, it seems very likely that frat guys trended R in 2016 and 2020.  Trump is much more of a partier than Romney!  IDK about 2022, though.  Frat guys are probably a big component of the 25% of R's who are at least somewhat pro-choice.

I am reasonably confident that this is false. Once you move past crude stereotypes about partying, this is a demographic we would expect to have had a large Democratic swing since 2012.

I have been trying to get a journalist friend of mine to do a story on political changes in the Greek community. It seems like a topic worth exploring, in large part because there are so many stereotypes.
