Fraternities: The North- American Interfraternity Conference governs 66 national fraternities in the U.S. and Canada. Some 400,000 students on more than 800 college campuses belong to one of the NIC's 5,500 chapters. So far, 33 national fraternities have agreed to support Select 2000 campaigns at their schools.

Sororities: The National Panhellenic Conference represents 26 national sororities and more than 225,000 college women on 630 campuses. While NIC membership has decreased in the past few years, NPC sorority membership has steadily risen since 1977. All 26 sororities prohibit alcohol in their houses and have signed a resolution in support of men's groups that are going dry.

Historically black fraternities and sororities: There are five national fraternities and four national sororities in the National Pan-Hellenic Council, with chapters at more than 1,000 college campuses. The NPHC forbids alcohol at any of its social events.

Latinos: The National Association for Latino Fraternal Organizations oversees 15 national fraternities and sororities with more than 5,000 members. They tend not to have houses; alcohol is not a problem.
