Consistently being voted, strait-laced

Hi, It's a bit unclear the way that this line is written- Brigham Young University students Consistently being voted
Being voted belong to past form?

What is "strait-laced" for college students ?

"Church members cooperating to provide for their own poor; Brigham Young University students consistently being voted the most strait-laced college students in the United States; tightly knit families teaching their children to live clean lives ..."

Don't you agree with me that strait-laced means: plite, well behaving students?? Let me rephrase the book's sentance: Brigham Young University student are often votedas the most well-behaving students in the US. Is it making any sence to you know?

Sorry, but I disagree. "Strait-laced" means: having or showing very strict moral attitudes.
