A Content Analysis Of A Decade Of Fraternity/Sorority Scholarship In Student Affairs Research Journals, William R. Molasso Aug 2005

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.

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.
