dc.description.abstract	Students at institutions of higher education desire to feel a part of campus. However, for fat-bodied students, their experiences are often lost in the influx of opinions from students, staff, faculty, and university administrators. The literature on the experiences of fat-bodied students in higher education, in general, is limited, with the literature on fatbodied students participating in fraternity and sorority life being even more limited. The publications and sources that do exist with slightly more frequency tend to be blog posts or personal websites addressing the topic. This research serves to highlight the emerging findings of a research study exploring the lived experiences and preconceived ideas of fat-bodied students' engagement with NPHC fraternities and sororities, and the professional perspective of higher education professionals.	en_US
