The highest education of the respondents for members was high school level while the non-members was elementary level. In general, demographic profile of the respondents has no significant influences on their self -concept and social behavior. However, it was revealed that birth order has significantly influence with the self -concept in terms of personal worth and self -value. Also it was found out that birth order has significantly influence with the social behavior in terms of community relation. Results revealed that there is no significant difference between self -concept and social behavior of the two groups of respondents.
