Abstract	The purpose of this study was to determine If there were significant differences between fraternity and non-fraternity freshmen at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge during the fall semester of the 1969-70 academic year in the areas of academic ability, academic achievement, size of high-school graduating class and place of residence during the first semester of enrollment. The study involved 1643 male, freshmen students. Of this number, 489 affiliated with a social fraternity and 1154 did not. Analysis of variance was used to test for statistical difference between the academic-ability levels of fraternity and non-fraternity freshmen. Chi-square was used to test the significance of the relationship that existed between size of high-school graduating class and tendency to join a fraternity and place of residence and tendency to join a fraternity. Multiple-classification analysis of covariance was used to test for possible significant difference between the academicachievement levels of freshmen who were classified according tot (1) fraternity status, (2) size of high-school graduating class, and (3) place of residence. The covariate was academic ability level as determined by ACT scores. The following conclusions were reached: 1. There was a significant difference between the academicability levels of fraternity freshmen and non-fraternity freshmen. Fraternity freshmen had significantly higher ACT composite scores and significantly higher scores on the English portion of the ACT test.
