In the Fall of 2001, Gamma Sigma Alpha - National Greek Academic Honor Society and the Higher Education Department at Bowling Green State University, entered into a partnership to study achievement in fraternities and sororities.

This partnership allowed GSA and BGSU to jointly supervise a doctoral graduate student to do the following:

1. To compile an annotated bibliography of studies to date on achievement in fraternities and sororities, and like organizations.  This bibliography of over 100 such studies is now posted.

2. To identify areas in need of study that are not covered by the annotated bibliography.

3. To produce study designs of areas in need of study (for any graduate student to study). 

4. To engage in studies of areas identified.  Outcomes of these studies will be posted on this site as they are completed.

Gamma Sigma Alpha and BGSU have been successful in completing many research projects. Please review our research on the past research section.
