Submissions to Journal of Sorority and Fraternity Life Research and Practice

The Association of Fraternity/Sorority Advisors welcomes submissions; research articles for JSFLRP should stress the underlying issues or problems that stimulated the research; treat the methodology concisely; and, most importantly, offer a full discussion of results, implications, and conclusions. We also encourage the submission of thoughtful, documented essays or historical perspectives. JSFLRP advances the study of college fraternities and sororities through a peer-reviewed academic journal promoting scholarly discourse among partners invested in the college fraternal movement. JSFLRP serves as the premier forum for academic discourse and scholarly inquiry regarding the college fraternity and sorority movement. JSFLRP is published biannually

To achieve this purpose, the Editorial Board is committed to working with authors from initial submission to publication as long as the submission meets the three basic requirements for consideration. The study must be: (1) empirically grounded, (2) conceptually sound, and (3) related to fraternity/sorority participation as a field of study.
