I'm wondering what kind of study this is?

Obviously, not scientific in nature if you get a subjective pool of people on a message board. Also, who is going to read a study on the top organizations on campus. I can tell you what the answer will be before you start. No consensus.

Not only would it not be scientific, but it can change day to day as groups pick up and lose members constantly. AND, for those with only 3 or 4 groups, knowing the top 3 groups doesn't tell you much.

OLE MISS (the university of mississippi)
Sorority
1. Delta Delta Delta almost 300 members (Chi Chapter)
2. Kappa Delta almost 300 members (Alpha Mu Chapter)
3. Chi Omega almost 300 members (Tau Chapter)
4. Delta Gamma almost 300 members (Alpha Psi Chapter)
5. Phi Mu almost 300 numbers (Alpha Delta Chapter)

Fraternity
1. Sigma Chi (Eta Chapter)
2. Sigma Nu (Epsilon Xi Chapter)
3. Phi Delta Theta (Mississippi Alpha Chapter)

The rest of the sororities have at least 200 or more members

There is, however, a difference between the "top" organizations and the largest ones. "Top" is open to interpretation but largest is objective. Of course that's not to say that anyone knows for sure which organization on any campus has the most members, but it should be a pretty easy question to answer.

I think these are the largest at UCF. A collegiate can correct me if I'm wrong.

These are in no particular order.

Sororities:
1) ZTA
2) AZD
3) KD or ADPi or TriDelta

Fraternities:
1) Sig Ep
2) LXA
3) Pi Kapp or Kappa Sig or Sigma Chi or DU

I'm not really 100% sure about my school. Numbers are a little hazy sometimes. Especially with some groups awful retention numbers. Currently, my chapter is at around 50 give or take a few.

I think Acacia is still #1 with somewhere in the neighborhood of 80. Past that, I'm not really sure. I believe we're either 2nd, 3rd or 4th depending on who you ask.

I'm not sure about fraternities, because Miami University has a ton of them...but I'm guessing that Beta Theta Pi, Delta Upsilon, FIJI, Phi Kappa Tau, Sigma Chi, Sigma Pi, Kappa Sigma, and Theta Chi would be the largest ones.

Sororities I know for a fact:

1. Kappa Kappa Gamma
2. Alpha Delta Pi
3. Delta Gamma
