The Update | November 6, 2018
Industry Update Provided by NPC
The Chronicle of Higher Education published a letter to the editor from Dani Weatherford, executive director of the National Panhellenic Conference (NPC), and Judson Horras, president & CEO of the North American Interfraternity Conference (NIC), regarding a recent study suggesting fraternity and sorority membership has a negative effect on student learning. The authors point to numerous national studies that deliver opposite findings and suggest the results of the study in question represent findings on a single campus, rather than the fraternal community nationwide.
Daily Mail reported on a lawsuit filed by the family of Kappa Delta sorority member Caitlin Nelson after her death during a Greek Week event. The family is suing Sacred Heart University to raise awareness about the dangers associated with amateur eating contests. Independent and People also reported on this story.
Daily Mail reported on a lawsuit filed by the mother of Alasdair Russell, alleging that his death resulted from the hazing he experienced in Phi Kappa Psi’s University of Southern California chapter. According to the lawsuit, Russell suffered a head injury following a night of forced heavy drinking at the fraternity which his mother believes contributed to his death last year. Fox News and TMZ also reported on this story.
