Recall and Recognition of Fraternal Values and Person–Organization Fit for Members of Men’s College Social Fraternities

Abstract

The purpose of the present quantitative study was to examine the recall and recognition of espoused values of undergraduate fraternity members and measures of person–organization fit. The results of this study will help researchers and fraternity professionals best understand the extent to which values are being retained in a cognitive way (espoused) and the relationship to values congruence between members and their fraternity. Benefits to members can result from any programming related values-based initiatives that can be developed as a result of study findings as well as improved assessment of values congruence in fraternal organizations.
