Fraternities

The first main sociological question in the "Fraternities and Rape on Campus" study performed by Patricia Yancey Martin and Robert A. Hummer was, "What characteristics do fraternities have that make them prone to objectification of women and more likely to commit gang rape on college campuses and why fraternities encourage the sexual coercion of women. According to Martin and Hummer (1989: 459), "fraternities are vitally concerned – more than anything else – with masculinity (cf. Kanin 1967)."

I am incredibly excited to apply for a Educational or Strategic Growth consultant position with Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity. I am currently a Masters of Public Administration candidate at Southern Illinois University - Edwardsville. I am working towards beginning a career in student affairs, specifically in Fraternity and Sorority life. I believe that my leadership positions within the Illinois Eta chapter, volunteer experience, and para - professional experience in a university setting make me a viable

Since the 1770’s, fraternities have existed to bring men collectively to teach about brotherhood and service. But over time that has started to include: wild, raging parties, sex, binge drinking, hazing and finding superiority over non-Greek affiliated college students. Fraternities have existed for hundreds of years and countless stories and studies have established them to be dangerous and exorbitant. So exactly why do we keep fraternities around? And what supremacy does universities have over

Hypothesis: If members of fraternities and sororities stay members of their organization after times of conflict or after entering into the storming stage, then their members find the shared values and collectivist attitude provided by the group as more important than the conflict and will continue to function normally once the conflicted is reconciled and that group returns to the norming stage. My research will, hopefully, identify how the storming stage affects members who already feel dissatisfied

and in joining Delta Sigma Pi, I hope to become a part of the great community and brotherhood that Delta Sigma Pi had created in NYU because from going to rush events, I realized that I really like the brothers. The family-like atmosphere of the fraternity is absolutely amazing and I would love to be part of this big family, meet all the brothers and create life-long bonds. Other than becoming a part of the brotherhood, I will also be submerged in an environment where everyone is driven and motivated

Often when the word fraternities come to mind many of us tend to think of pop-culture references such as Animal House or Old School. This is even what I thought going into one myself. But as I took a closer look, I realized this is not the life that they put out to be in the movies. Then again when are the movies ever really right about the real world? I was surprised to be honest that my idea of a fraternity was slightly skewed from reality but as time went on and I got more involved, the less I

Long, L. D., & Snowden, A. (2011). The more you put into it, the more you get out of it: the educational gains of fraternity/sorority officers. Oracle: The Research Journal of the Association of Fraternity/Sorority Advisors, 6(2), 1–14. This study is unique in that is studies both fraternities and sororities but is comparing the difference between those who are organization officers and those who are not. They are compared across nine different educational gains. These educational gains are Sense

before you joined your fraternity? I guess before I met brothers and knew what it was about, obviously I just had that freshman perception of Greek Life like drinking clubs with letters, not knowing anyone, and not being able to get in without my iCard. What made you decide to join a fraternity? Definitely the people in it. Once I knew the people in it and once I knew what the fraternity stood for and seeing if it was something I agreed with. When did you rush your fraternity and how was the process

on top of classwork and school work. Meeting people can be very intimidating, joining a fraternity or a sorority comes with many benefits like people with meeting people, bettering your future, and being held accountable for your actions.
