INTRODUCTION

Fraternities have a long history of tenuous relationships with the college campuses on which they reside. On some campuses, fraternities are seen as having a positive impact on their members and complement the goals of the institution. On other campuses fraternities have been barred from even existing. Fraternity representatives will often lay claim that membership enhances overall student growth, learning, and development and serves to bolster the essential quality of campus life as their various organizations add to the force of student volunteers upon which all campuses have come to rely. Institutions note the sometimes raucous behavior of fraternity members on the whole negatively impacts the quality of the student experience. Unfortunately, stalwarts from both camps have no choice but to rely on their own lived experience and are limited to providing anecdotal arguments for or against the concept of “fraternity.”

Do fraternities add to or subtract from the overall collegiate experience? To answer that question, one must look at overall outcomes, or, what and who do students become as a result of their fraternity experience as measured in changes in their behavior. Some limited studies have been conducted from which contrasting conclusions have been drawn, from espousing values contrary to academic achievement to promoting engagement which has been found to complement academic achievement.

Yet, to date, no “hard data” has existed that might provide empirical evidence to support any argument for or against “fraternity.” To that end, five national fraternities, some in concert with one another and others as a result of unilateral action on their part, participated in the University Learning Outcomes Assessment project and gathered data from their various chapters across the nation.

The UniLOA is a standardized assessment instrument designed to measure student behaviors consistent with seven distinct domains regarded as critical by employers, academicians, managers, researchers, accrediting agencies, and a host of others. Through a variety of administration protocols, behavior can be measured at key points along a student‟s academic lifespan, thus providing valuable data for College and University decision-makers, and in the present project, fraternities, to support strategic planning.

A total of 5,697 valid responses were forwarded to the Center for Learning Outcomes Assessment for analysis by the various national fraternities between 2007 and 2009. This report presents a comparative analysis of findings of male college students based on their membership or non-membership in a fraternity.

UniLOA Project Report CONFIDENTIAL Fraternity Report

Summary of select findings:

Fraternity men score higher than the national mean of all students as well as the national mean for males on all seven of the domains measured by the UniLOA, with the exception of scoring lower than the national mean on the communications domain. Fraternity men did, however, score higher on the communication domain than non-affiliated males.

Fraternity men scored at a statistically significant higher level (p<.05) than non-affiliated males on a total of 47 (67%) of the UniLOA‟s individual items, and scored numerically higher on an additional 8 (11%) items.

Fraternity men scored numerically lower than the non-affiliated male mean on 15 (21%) UniLOA items, of which 2 (3%) were statistically significant (p<.05).

Fraternity men experienced higher net gains in growth over their academic lifespan in each of the seven UniLOA domains than non affiliated male students.

Fraternity men experienced average growth within each of the UniLOA‟s seven domains of 2.37 points as opposed to non-affiliated men‟s average growth of .60 during the first semester of their first college year.

The largest differential in scores is observed in the domains of citizenship and membership/leadership, with fraternity men scoring substantially higher than the national norm and non-affiliated males.

Fraternity men score numerically lower on multiple items more frequently in critical thinking (4 items), self-awareness (4 items, with one of statistical significance of p<.05) and communications (5 items).

Considering the overall rate of growth along all 7 UniLOA domains is stronger for fraternity men than for non-affiliated males, there may be some grounding to supporting the claim that fraternity membership causes accelerated growth, learning, and development as opposed to mere correlation.

Highest and lowest scored UniLOA items for fraternity men in each of the UniLOA domains are presented in the table on the following page.

UniLOA Project Report CONFIDENTIAL Fraternity Report

Highest Lowest

Critical

Thinking

I understand basic statistics that I

read or see in the media. For

example when I see or read

statistics I know what they mean

and how they are being used to

represent information

appropriately or inappropriately.

I am good at describing things in class. For

example I answer the teacher‟s questions

when we are reviewing material.

Self-Awareness I am self monitoring. For example I am

constantly checking if I am where I want to

be in my life and who I want to be.

I list my personal goals for a class or

activity. For example I list my learning

goals for a class beyond the learning

outcomes listed in the syllabus, as well as

my goal for a grade.

Communication I adjust my communication skills

to whatever setting I am in. For

example I use different kinds of

skills in class than I do during

informal situations.

I make sure that when I am talking with

someone I change my communication style

to be consistent with their world view. For

example when speaking to someone who is

devoutly religious I take that into account

when I speak with them.

Diversity I value differences between

people as part of the overall

human experience. For example I

know that we are not a melting

pot where people who are

different can come to be seen as

„all the same‟. I know that people

are different and that these

differences are important.

I act on the values of diversity and social

justice. For example I work with an

organization or with my church to help

others.

Citizenship I vote. For example I am

registered and vote in campus,

local, state and national elections

I engage in the political process through

voicing viewpoints. For example I write

letters to the editor, engage in debate with

others, or contact political leaders to voice

my opinion

Membership

and Leadership

I can describe the common

factors in both leadership and

membership. For example I can

use this knowledge in a way that

makes me effective as either a

leader or a member

I engage in constructive dialog rather than

arguments. For example when I confront

others I focus on minimizing a negative

emotional response from people I‟m

confronting

Relationships I balance keeping personal, social,

and professional relationships

healthy with the rest of my life.

For example I spend time on

relationships and still get my

school work done

I use effective networking skills. For

example I go out of my comfort zone to

introduce myself to and establish and

maintain an appropriate relationship with

others, such as my professors and

supervisors
