Supporting Fraternities and Sororities in the Contemporary Era is inspired by sustained and reoccurring professional conversations and scholarship that have suggested that not just change is necessary, but that there ought to be a fundamental shift towards reconceptualizing the construct of fraternities and sororities. The co-editors curate work from scholars and noteworthy practitioners from across higher education to provide an imperative text that reflects the complexity and expansiveness by addressing diversity, programming, and support approaches. This text commences with the understanding that issues will continuously exist, requiring a greater nuanced depth of appreciation to reduce their negative impact. It also summarizes national organizations from authentic, represented voices. Chapters then focus on solutions to support the fraternity and sorority experience, providing strategies and emerging explanations for the issues described in this text. Supporting Fraternities and Sororities seeks to do exactly as the title implies: to inform all stakeholders so that they can make better decisions about the future of these institutions.
Perfect for courses such as: Fraternity and Course Leadership | Dissertation Seminar | Professional Development Circles | Independent Study | Research Seminar | Thesis Research | Reflection Assignment | Contemporary Issues in Higher Education | Introduction to Student Affairs

Reviews & Endorsements:
“This book is one I dreamed of but never completed. The authors' focus on collaboration between campus based and Headquarters based fraternity and sorority professionals adds an important new perspective to the administration of fraternity and sorority affairs. Its projected audience is far more diverse than prior works, since it can be effectively used with undergraduates, graduate students, volunteers, and F/S professionals.”
