Abstract
Many fraternities and sororities promote leadership development through
leadership programs. However, these programs are rarely assessed to determine if they are producing positive outcomes. The purpose of this study was to determine if fraternity central office leadership programs had an impact on group outcomes, including Grade Point Average (GPA), recruitment class size, initiation rates, risk management violations, and chapter recognition as well as provide a strategic assessment plan for organization. The independent variables for the study were the leadership programs offered by a national fraternity, while the dependent variables were chapter outcomes, including GPA, recruitment class size, initiation rates, risk management violations, and chapter recognition.
Descriptive statistics, bivariate correlations, and multiple regressions were used to analyze the data collected on leadership programs and chapter outcomes. The results revealed significant correlations between recruitment rates and chapter recognition and the independent variables in most years, while other variables such as GPA, initiation rates, and risk management violations were inconsistently related from year to year. Findings also indicated that two of the leadership programs, Phi Institute and Phi College, had the most impact on chapter outcomes.
