-In 1990, Professor of Sociology Noreen L. Channels conducted a [[https://digitalrepository.trincoll.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1011&context=w_books|survey of 3,000 alumnae]] who graduated from Trinity in order to gain insight on their experiences in several areas, one of which was fraternities and sororities. In the survey, many of the responses coming from women who graduated between 1980 and 1989 described how it was difficult to socialize without engaging with the fraternity system, but that "sexism was more prevalent" (Sec. 4, p.5). Some women also indicated that they didn't feel the sorority system improved upon matters. Others, however, noted that they had positive experiences and either joined sororities or joined fraternities as female members. +In 1990, Professor of Sociology Noreen L.

 Trinity College today is home to seven fraternities, five sororities, and two co-educational organizations. About 20 percent of the campus makes up Trinity’s Greek organizations with 450+ members. As one of the few NESCAC schools to offer Greek organizations, Trinity students and alumni have held tightly to their continued existence and legacy despite attempts to reform or abolish them. Trinity College today is home to seven fraternities, five sororities, and two co-educational organizations.
