The academic affects of Black fraternal membership

Abstract

African-American fraternity members were examined in order to determine the affects Black fraternal membership has on classroom performance. The findings presented in the study provide further implications regarding the in-class experiences of African-American fraternity and sorority undergraduate members at a predominately White university. Various components of the study are consistent with findings offered in published literature on Black fraternal membership, however, there are some inconsistencies that provide insight to new implications.
