Foundations, Research, and Assessment of Fraternities and Sororities
is inspired by continuing conversations about the enduring challenges
facing fraternities and sororities on campuses across the country. The
co-editors curate contributions from scholars and noteworthy
practitioners from across higher education to examine a variety of
issues relating to the past and future construct of these institutions.
The text begins with a historical section that provides a perspective on
the origins of fraternities and sororities. Other sections look at such
critical areas as values, legal issues, and research. Values are
described regarding the values congruence movement and acknowledging
emerging areas of the individual fraternity and sorority experience.
Legal issues include freedom of speech, hazing law, and risk management.
Additional profiles of large, national benchmark surveys are included,
and the book concludes with a final overview of the state of
fraternity/sorority scholarship. This volume will appeal to a broad
readership made up of faculty, administrations and alumni/ae.
