Abstract
"Fraternity and Sorority Community (FSC) standards programs have been a practice of campus administrators seeking to change fraternity (and sorority) culture for over three decades (Mamarchev, Sina, & Heida, 2003; Norman, 2003; Sasso, 2012; Schoper, 2009). These programs have been so much of a part of efforts by administrators, notably those responsible for fraternity/sorority advising programs (FSAP), that guiding documents such as the Council for the Advancement of Standards (CAS) FSAP Standards included content relative to the implementation of these types of programs as recommended practice for FSAP operations (CAS, 2015; Mamarchev, Sina, & Heida, 2003). However, the extent to which these efforts have influenced culture change, engaged stakeholders in a shared objective, and facilitated student and organizational learning and development is often called into question (Reikofski, 2008; Sands & Cucci, 2013), and with good reason: a number of these programs were developed without stakeholder input (Mamarchev et al., 2003; Sasso, 2012) and have had mixed results, sometimes resulting in abandonment based on a lack of institutional and chapter effort toward making implementation a success (Norman, 2003; Reikofski, 2008)..."
