Definitions Of Hazing: Differences Among Selected Student Organizations, Chad W. Ellsworth
Definitions Of Hazing: Differences Among Selected Student Organizations, Chad W. Ellsworth
Journal of Sorority and Fraternity Life Research and Practice
Fraternities, sororities, military organizations, athletic groups, and marching bands commonly are associated with hazing activities. Although such organizations have been linked to hazing activities, the fact that different entities and organizations have different definitions and perceptions of hazing has hindered any real effort to challenge and combat such activities. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the activities students define as hazing differed among the selected student organizations. This study discovered statistically significant differences (p<.05) among the selected student organizations/or physical hazing activities and psychological hazing activities, as well as statistically significant differences (p<.05) between women and men for physical hazing activities, psychological hazing activities, and other hazing activities. This study also identified 10 activities students in all groups identified as hazing, which moves us toward a common definition of hazing.

On-Line Alcohol Health Education Curriculum Evaluation: Harm Reduction Findings Among Fraternity And Sorority Members, Andrew Wall
Journal of Sorority and Fraternity Life Research and Practice
This study examines the use of technology as a tool in the broad-based delivery of alcohol health education within fraternities and sororities. Building on the promise of multimedia education, this evaluation examines an alcohol abuse prevention program delivered through an interactive web-based format for reducing the harm associated with alcohol abuse. The evaluation uses a clustered randomly assigned post-test only evaluation design with 3,552 individuals in 340 chapters to examine differences between individuals who have and who have not received the educational curriculum. The outcome of the study is building evidence that technology-delivered alcohol education has potential to modestly impact …

Fake-Id Use Among Fraternity/Sorority Members, William R. Molasso
Journal of Sorority and Fraternity Life Research and Practice
The author explores differences among fraternity/sorority members and nonmembers in the use of and attitudes about fake IDs. Data from this study of 3,780 students from 12 institutions across the country indicate that fraternity/sorority affiliated students were almost three times as likely to have a Jake ID and maintain less healthy attitudes about them when compared to non-affiliated students. The researcher identifies recommendations for professionals working with this community.
Effects Of Fraternity/Sorority Membership And Recruitment Semester On Gpa And Retention
Effects Of Fraternity/Sorority Membership And Recruitment Semester On Gpa And Retention
Journal of Sorority and Fraternity Life Research and Practice
The researchers assess the relationship of fraternity/sorority membership and semester of recruitment on grade point average (GPA) and student retention, adjusting for covariates through sub classification by propensity score. The findings suggest a consistent positive relationship between fraternity/sorority membership and retention and a varying relationship between fraternity/sorority membership and GPA. Fraternity/sorority membership has a negligible effect on GPA over time, with the exception of the recruitment and pledging semester.

An Exploratory Study Of The Experiences Of Gay, Lesbian And Bisexual Fraternity And Sorority Members Revisited, Douglas N. Case, Grahaeme A. Hesp, Charles G. Eberly
Journal of Sorority and Fraternity Life Research and Practice
The lead author questioned over 500 self identified gay, lesbian, and bisexual (GLB) fraternity and sorority members to assess their reasons for joining; how their membership affected their sexual identity development and intimate relationships; the degree of homophobia and heterosexism encountered; how sexual orientation affected the quality of their fraternal experiences; and the level of acceptance or rejection they faced. Many respondents were in the early phases of sexual identity development at the time they joined, and most chose to conceal their sexual orientation from their fellow members. This study details the reactions from fellow members, assesses satisfaction with the …

A Content Analysis Of A Decade Of Fraternity/Sorority Scholarship In Student Affairs Research Journals, William R. Molasso
A Content Analysis Of A Decade Of Fraternity/Sorority Scholarship In Student Affairs Research Journals, William R. Molasso
Journal of Sorority and Fraternity Life Research and Practice
The author used content analysis research methodologies to investigate the discourse on fraternities/sororities in the two primary journals of the student affairs profession, the Journal of College Student Development and the NASPA Journal. In research published in these student affairs journals over the last decade, fraternities/sororities were underrepresented. Additionally, the published research was of insufficient depth, and focused on narrow issues. This content analysis allows us to understand better the nature and scope of fraternity/sorority research in the primary student affairs literature over the last decade.

This study addresses the role of fraternity/sorority rituals in the lives of undergraduate members and is based upon a qualitative study that asked the following question: "Does ritual have an impact on the values and behavior of contemporary sorority women?" Addressing this question requires an understanding of the role ritual ceremonies play in the fraternity/sorority experience. This research primarily examined the impact of ritual ceremonies as it related to individual behavior.
