Leadership Outcomes Based On Membership In Multicultural Greek Council (Mgc) Organizations, Eric Atkinson Ph.D., Laura A. Dean Ph.D., Michelle M. Espino Ph.D.
Journal of Sorority and Fraternity Life Research and Practice
This study explored how involvement in Multicultural Greek Council (MGC) organizations promoted leadership development for five undergraduate students at the University of Georgia, a predominately White, research-extensive institution in the Southeast. Findings highlight significant leadership outcomes from involvement such as an increased sense of belonging to the campus community, opportunities for leadership development, interpersonal relationships influenced by organizational culture and peer expectations, and specific leadership skills development. Implications for practice are included.

Research Revisited: When Student Leaders Don’T, Donald G. Dipaolo Ph.D.
Journal of Sorority and Fraternity Life Research and Practice
This introspective and reflective idea brief explores the nature of the gap between what leadership educators hope to accomplish in the lives of students and what actually happens. The author draws upon thirty years of leadership education and a wealth of interactions with leadership educators and student leaders across North America. Five latent barriers to successful leadership education are presented for further discussion, debate and application. The reader is encouraged to engage in supportive dialogue with colleagues to address difficult questions and cultural obstacles to our work.
Sisters Leading Together: The Experience Of Recruitment Counselors During Sorority Recruitment, Patricia Witkowsky
Sisters Leading Together: The Experience Of Recruitment Counselors During Sorority Recruitment, Patricia Witkowsky
Journal of Sorority and Fraternity Life Research and Practice
The purpose of this constructivist, ethnographic case study was to describe the experience of sorority recruitment counselors during formal recruitment at a mid-size university in the western United States. The findings of this study include the recruitment counselors’ desire to give back to the fraternity/sorority community and their campus, challenges experienced during disaffiliation, their struggle between neutrality during the recruitment process and loyalty to their chapter, their perception of recruitment’s “Disney World effect” (popularity of chapters due to decorations, costumes, etc.), and the development of their leadership skills. Finally, implications for fraternity/sorority professionals and researchers are presented.
An Analysis Of Leadership Programming Sponsored By Member Organizations Of The National Panhellenic, Genevieve Evans Taylor
An Analysis Of Leadership Programming Sponsored By Member Organizations Of The National Panhellenic, Genevieve Evans Taylor
Journal of Sorority and Fraternity Life Research and Practice
Leadership development is a high priority for many National Panhellenic Conference (NPC) sororities (National Panhellenic Conference, 1999) and obtaining leadership skills is a major reason why women join sororities (NPC/NIC Research Initiative, 2002). However, little research is available which summarizes leadership programs sponsored by NPC headquarters and the specific contents and effectiveness of such programs. This study examined those aspects through surveys distributed to the 26 NPC sorority headquarters. The results from the study demonstrate sorority headquarters indeed offer leadership education to undergraduate collegiate members through a wide range of programming; however, these programs may be missing critical elements associated …

A Ten-Year Study Of Individual Outcomes From A Fraternity Central Office Leadership Program, J. Patrick Biddix Ph.D., Rachel Underwood
Journal of Sorority and Fraternity Life Research and Practice
Fraternities promote leadership development as a benefit of membership. Researchers examined fraternal commitment and engagement of participants attending a leadership program offered by a fraternity central office. This study was designed as an outcomes assessment and included 2,065 cases, the total number of fraternity men attending in the ten-year span from 1999-2008. The following data were examined: attendance, undergraduate leadership, alumni/volunteer involvement, and donor rosters, as well as post-program survey evaluations. Descriptive statistics and significance tests revealed that (a) 63% of participants took a formal undergraduate leadership role, (b) 8% of participants took a volunteer advisory role, (c) 8% became …

Maximizing Student Potential Versus Building Community: An Exploration Of Right-Wing Authoritarianism, Social Dominance Orientation, And Preferred Practice Among Supporters Of Gifted Education, Jennifer Riedl Cross, Tracy L. Cross, Holmes Finch
School of Education Articles
Social dominance orientation (SDO), right-wing authoritarianism (RWA), and socially desirable responding were examined among a sample of self-identified supporters of gifted education (N = 341), 70% of whom had an official role in gifted education as researchers, teachers, or gifted-talented (G/T) trainers. The sample was primarily female, White, well-educated, and upper middle class. The relationship of SDO, RWA, socially desirable responding, and support for various gifted education practices such as testing for identification, curricular differentiation in a heterogeneous classroom, and cooperative learning was explored through latent class analysis and logistic regression. Two distinct groups, communitarians and individualists, were found …

Differences In Self-Awareness Related Measures Among Culturally Based Fraternity, Social Fraternity, And Non-Affiliated College Men, Tricia R. Shalka, Susan Robb Jones Ph.D.
Journal of Sorority and Fraternity Life Research and Practice
This study examined differences among men affiliated with culturally based fraternities, men affiliated with social fraternities, and non-affiliated men on measures of consciousness of self and congruence. Data were collected in the spring of 2006 from 1,698 undergraduates, representing 46 different higher education institutions, as part of the Multi-Institutional Study of Leadership (MSL). Analysis of data was conducted using MANCOVA to compare independent variable group differences across the two dependent variables, while taking quasi pre-test measures for both items into account as covariates. Significant differences among culturally based fraternity men, social fraternity men, and non-affiliated men were found on the …

Fraternity/Sorority Membership: Good News About First-Year Impact, Robert Debard, Casey Sacks
Fraternity/Sorority Membership: Good News About First-Year Impact, Robert Debard, Casey Sacks
Journal of Sorority and Fraternity Life Research and Practice
Much has been written about the importance of student involvement for building a sense of belonging on college campuses. Fraternity/sorority membership, as a form of undergraduate involvement, frequently invokes perceptions of misbehavior more often than positive outcomes. This study considered the impact of fraternity/sorority membership on the academic performance of more than 45,000 first-year students, from 17 different institutions. Quantitative analysis involved grades, credit hours earned, and retention. Findings offer a comprehensive view for judging the efficacy of maintaining fraternal organizations on college campuses and encouragement to individual institutions to use this methodology to inform institutional policy, particularly the potential …

Why Undergraduates Aren’T “Going Greek”: Attraction, Affiliation, And Retention In Fraternities And Sororities, Kristin S. Fouts
Journal of Sorority and Fraternity Life Research and Practice
Declining interest in fraternity/sorority membership on many campuses has led advisors, campus-based professionals, and inter/national organization staff to consider reasons why some students choose not to join. This study sought to identify the factors that influence attraction, affiliation, and retention in fraternities and sororities. Results from this multi-institution, quantitative study (n = 1,432) indicated time, financial obligations, and lack of perceived personal benefit deter many students from pursuing membership. Discussion focused on recommendations for addressing myths, stereotypes, and other uncertainties, using clear and explicit information about the obligations of membership, and encouraging members to engage potential members in positive interactions …
Fraternity Members’ Views Of Negative Stereotypes, Craig Tollini, Beate Wilson
Fraternity Members’ Views Of Negative Stereotypes, Craig Tollini, Beate Wilson
Journal of Sorority and Fraternity Life Research and Practice
The purpose of this study was to have fraternity members identify the negative stereotypes they believed other members of the university community had of them and the extent to which these stereotypes were both accurate and/or damaging to their chapters. To gather these perspectives, which provide administrators, faculty, and staff members with a better understanding of how fraternity members view themselves and why they act as they do, a qualitative study consisting of five focus groups was conducted with 30 men from five Interfraternity Council (IFC) member fraternities at a medium-sized, Midwestern, public university. The seven most common negative stereotypes …

Leaders As Linchpins For Framing Meaning, Pamela L. Eddy
Leaders As Linchpins For Framing Meaning, Pamela L. Eddy
Articles
Community college leaders serve as linchpins for framing meaning on campus. The current pressures on institutions (given declining financial resources, demands for accountability, changing faculty ranks, and societal need for new knowledge) require presidents to juggle multiple priorities while presenting a cohesive message to campus constituents. This study examined how the presidents at nine community colleges communicated with college constituents and framed the meaning of those communications to help the college community make sense of ongoing change. Interviews with the presidents, as well as with key administrators, faculty members, and staff members, revealed that the presidents used emissaries to disseminate …

Crossing Boundaries Creating Community College Partnerships To Promote Educational Transitions, Marilyn J. Amey, Pamela L. Eddy, Timothy G. Campbell
Articles
Community college partnerships with institutions in other educational sectors (including schools and universities) are important and strategic ways of meeting the educational needs of college constituents and maximizing resources to achieve local and state economic development goals. Understanding what is required for effective partnerships is important in determining when and how to engage in these collaborative, but sometimes costly, arrangements. This article presents a model of partnership development that emphasizes the role of social and organizational capital in the formation of partnership capital that contributes to the long-term success of collaborative efforts.

The Landscape Of The College Cost Debate, Robert B. Archibald, David H. Feldman
The Landscape Of The College Cost Debate, Robert B. Archibald, David H. Feldman
W&M Libraries Book Chapters
This chapter introduces the subject matter and the mode of analysis in the book. This chapter explains why costs and prices are quite different at colleges and universities. The way one thinks about changes in college costs and college prices depends on where one sits. In particular, a close-up view focused exclusively on colleges and universities will lead to quite different conclusions than an aerial view that places colleges and universities in a broader economy-wide perspective. This chapter explains why the book adopts the aerial view rather than a close-up view. The chapter ends with a preview of the results …
Differentiating Tpack Development: Using Learning Activity Types With Inservice And Preservice Teachers, Mark J. Hofer, Judi Harris
Differentiating Tpack Development: Using Learning Activity Types With Inservice And Preservice Teachers, Mark J. Hofer, Judi Harris
Book Chapters
As teacher educators have begun to recognize and acknowledge the complexity of teacher knowledge for technology integration, currently conceptualized as technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK), researchers are exploring multiple ways to help inservice and preservice teachers develop this highly situated, interdependent professional knowledge. In this article we overview the Learning Activity Types (LAT) approach to TPACK-building that we have developed and are testing, documenting how we utilize the approach in differentiated ways for preservice and inservice teachers.

Testing A Tpack-Based Technology Integration Assessment Rubric, Judi Harris, Neal Grandgenett, Mark J. Hofer
Book Chapters
Although there is ever-increasing emphasis on integrating technology in teaching, there are few well-tested and refined assessments to measure the quality of this integration. The few measures that are available tend to favor constructivist approaches to teaching, and thus do not accurately assess the quality of technology integration across a range of different teaching approaches. We have developed a more “pedagogically inclusive” instrument that reflects key TPACK concepts and that has proven to both reliable and valid in two successive rounds of testing. The instrument’s interrater reliability coefficient (.857) was computed using both Intraclass Correlation and a score agreement (84.1%) …

Facilitated Telementoring For K-12 Students And Teachers, Judi Harris
School of Education Book Chapters
The Electronic Emissary is a Web-based service and resource center that helps teachers and students with Internet access locate mentors who are experts in various disciplines, then plan and engage in curriculum-based learning.. In this way, the interaction that occurs among teachers and students face-to-face in the classroom is supplemented and extended by electronic mail, Web forum, chat, and audio/videoconferencing exchanges that occur among participating teachers, students, and volunteer mentors. These project-based online conversations typically range in length from 6 weeks to a full academic year, as students’ needs and interests dictate. When the issues being explored are multi-disciplinary, technically …
