Effects of Greek Affiliation on African American Students' Engagement: Differences by College Racial Composition
Patton, Lori D.; Bridges, Brian K.; Flowers, Lamont A.
College Student Affairs Journal, v29 n2 p113-123 Spr 2011
This study used a nationally representative sample of African American college students to examine the degree to which their affiliation with a Greek-letter organization contributed to engagement in effective educational practices by analyzing National Survey of Student Engagement data at historically Black colleges and universities and predominantly White institutions. Overall, the findings indicated that Greek affiliation does enhance African American student engagement, particularly as it relates to interactions with faculty members and peers. Data also indicated that Greek affiliated members at historically Black colleges and universities appear to be more engaged than their counterparts at predominantly White institutions.
