Including and Supporting Jewish Sorority and Fraternity Chapter Members
The presenters will share findings from a national study about how campus advisors include and support Jewish sorority and fraternity members. Situated in research on Jewish identity development and sense of belonging, the study examined advisors' understandings’ of inclusion and support and students’ own voices on their needs—particularly in this time of heightened antisemitism in the US. The presenters will share implications for practice about the need for a more nuanced understanding of Jewish students’ identities and campus inclusion.
Learning Outcomes:
- Gain a working knowledge of Jewish fraternity and sorority members’ expressed needs for inclusion and belonging on campus.
- Learn how fraternity and sorority life professionals currently see their roles in supporting Jewish chapter members and how these practices can be improved.
- Gain a deeper understanding of how antisemitism and anti-Jewish bias impact students and the professionals who support them.
