The Impact of Greek Affiliation on Students' Educational Objectives: Longitudinal Change in Clark-Trow Educational Philosophies.
Wilder, David H.; And Others
Research in Higher Education, v38 n2 p151-71 Apr 1997
Investigated the impact of Greek affiliation of 4,119 college students on freshman-to-senior ratings of four educational philosophies (vocational, academic, collegiate, nonconformist) differentiated in the Clark-Trow model. Small, significant degrees of change in collegiate and non-conformist philosophies suggest Greek affiliation increased social interest and inhibited some forms of intellectual interests. Major had a moderating effect. Possible interpretations are offered. (Author/MSE)
