Framing The Dialogue: A New, Collaborative Approach To The Hazing Dilemma, Malinda M. Matney Ph.D., Simone Himbeault Taylor Ph.D.
Journal of Sorority and Fraternity Life Research and Practice
The University of Michigan’s disciplinary process requires bringing charges against individual students. An unexpected situation of nine simultaneous hazing cases during the 2004 fall term magnified the challenge of identifying responsible individuals in such cases. While the institution could have charged the leaders of the fraternities or sororities involved, instead it created and implemented the Community Education and Development Model to change the ingrained behavior and culture of the organizations. The focus was on enlivening the communitybuilding potential of fraternities and sororities. What follows is a discussion of the intervention and subsequent assessment, which illustrates potential challenges and opportunities with …
The Effects Of Sorority Recruitment On Self-Esteem, Lauren Chapman, Joan B. Hirt, Nicklaus R. Spruill
The Effects Of Sorority Recruitment On Self-Esteem, Lauren Chapman, Joan B. Hirt, Nicklaus R. Spruill
Journal of Sorority and Fraternity Life Research and Practice
Mental health issues among college students are of increasing concern to administrators (Kitzrow, 2003). Self-esteem is a concept central to mental health (Kittleson, 1989) and can be linked to the social situations found in college settings, especially those that deal with rejection (Caunt, 2003; Eisenberger & Lieberman, 2004; Steffenhagen & Burns, 1987). Sorority recruitment is a process that can include rejection (National Panhellenic Conference, n.d.) and, thus, may negatively affect self-esteem. The purpose of this study was to determine how the sorority recruitment experience affects the self-esteem of participants. First, we explored whether self-esteem differed between two groups of potential …

Fraternity As “Enabling Environment:” Does Membership Lead To Gambling Problems?, J. Patrick Biddix Ph.D., Thomas W. Hardy Ph.D.
Fraternity As “Enabling Environment:” Does Membership Lead To Gambling Problems?, J. Patrick Biddix Ph.D., Thomas W. Hardy Ph.D.
Journal of Sorority and Fraternity Life Research and Practice
Researchers have suggested that fraternity membership is the most reliable predictor of gambling and gambling problems on campus. The purpose of this study was to determine if problematic gambling could be linked to specific aspects of fraternity membership. Though the null hypothesis (no enabling environment) failed to be rejected, descriptive analysis confirms that moderate rates of problem gambling are exhibited by subsets of fraternity members (officers, younger members, those who live with other members). Further, predictive analysis revealed that gambling online and betting on skill games, such as golf or pool, increased the likelihood of problem gambling among fraternity members. …
Exploring Relationships Between Fraternity And Sorority Membership And Socially Responsible Leadership, John P. Dugan Ph.D.
Exploring Relationships Between Fraternity And Sorority Membership And Socially Responsible Leadership, John P. Dugan Ph.D.
Journal of Sorority and Fraternity Life Research and Practice
Membership in social fraternities and sororities provides a powerful platform for developing college students’ capacity for leadership. The existing knowledge regarding the extent to which it fulfills this goal, however, is relatively sparse. Much of the research on college student leadership relies on definitions that are inconsistent with contemporary conceptualizations. This study addresses this gap by looking at the leadership development of fraternity and sorority members using data from a national study grounded in the social change model. Results indicated fraternity and sorority members scored highest on the leadership value of commitment and lowest on the capacity to navigate change. …

Reflections Of Women Leading Community Colleges, Pamela L. Eddy
Reflections Of Women Leading Community Colleges, Pamela L. Eddy
School of Education Articles
As the “people’s college,” community colleges have a reputation of being more welcoming of women — as students, faculty, and administrators (Townsend & Twombly, 2006). However, the current percentage of women leading community colleges, which is hovering at 29% (American Council on Education, 2007), begs the question of why parity is not witnessed at the helm of these colleges, especially when 57% of community college students are women (NCES, 2004). The present phenomenological study investigates the positions six women presidents hold, critical incidents that have impacted their career decisions, the role of mentoring, and how these leaders are encouraging others …

The aim of this study was to evaluate the leadership impact that service as a fraternity chapter president has on students’ self- perceived leadership development. More specifically, this study addressed the self- perceived leadership impact the fraternity experience has on students’ careers.

Journal of Sorority and Fraternity Life Research and Practice
This study examined disordered eating behaviors in regard to detection, prevention, intervention, and referral by college student personnel professionals. A survey was used to assess the level of knowledge pertaining to eating disorder among administrators of two of the largest at-risk student groups on campus: fraternity/sorority affiliated students and student athletes. ANOVA and correlation analyses were used to evaluate eating disorder knowledge levels. Recommendations include encouraging college student personnel professionals to seek out educational materials and training to educate themselves about eating disorders to help refer students who may be struggling with this health concern.

Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge In Action: A Case Study Of A Middle School Digital Documentary Project, Mark J. Hofer, Kathleen Owings Swan
Articles
In recent years researchers in educational technology have begun to look closely at the complexity of integrating technology in K-12 classrooms. The development of the notion of Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPCK) provides a useful theoretical framework to explore the requisite forms of teacher knowledge required to effectively integrate technology in classroom work. This case study explores the three domains of teacher knowledge and their intersections in a sixth grade digital documentary project. On the surface, the setting for the work (particularly the skilled teachers with whom we worked) seemed to be the "best-case scenario" for technology integration, and yet, …
