Abstract

The purpose of this study was to understand the process Fraternity/Sorority Advising (FSA) professionals utilize to sustain their careers beyond five years. Participants’ wellness practices and burnout experiences were explored through semi-structured interviews. This study included 26 participants who had sustained their career as a full-time, campus-based FSA for a minimum of five years. Through a grounded theory method, several themes were found, and a career sustainability and wellness model was generated. Career sustaining practices are defined, and applicable use of the model is presented.
