Blackballed [sound recording]/ by Ross, Lawrence C.,author.(CARDINAL)703438; Butler, Ron,Jr.,narrator.(CARDINAL)834920;
Read by Ron Butler.An explosive and controversial book that rips the veil off America's hidden secret: America's colleges have fostered a racist environment that makes them a hostile space for African American students. Lawrence Ross exposes the white fraternity and sorority system, with traditions of racist parties, songs, and assaults on black students; and the universities themselves, who name campus buildings after racist men and women. It also takes a deep dive into anti-affirmative action policies, and how they effectively segregate predominately white universities, providing ample room for white privilege.

Kickoffs and kegs Small college days / by Brooks, Jeff,author.(CARDINAL)434161;
It's 1967. The air at Augusteum College, a small liberal arts school in Western Pennsylvania, is filled with the excitement of the upcoming football season. A few contrasting young men form the team's offensive line-each with his own issues and baggage. Only two of them arrive at football camp with starting positions in hand, and the rest must start from scratch. On the surface, all of the players appear to have different degrees of talent and ability and... ...in at least one case, enthusiasm. These were the days just prior to the antiwar fever and bedlam that took over many colleges and universities, beginning in places like Berkley and Columbia, and finally working its way down to backwaters like Augusteum. In the meantime, it was the beginning of the twilight of the fraternity and sorority systems. An inordinate amount of time was spent partying and drinking, and... ...beer was king. Social mores had begun to change and romance was beginning to take a much more torrid form. A number of female characters begin to change the landscape; and, in most cases... ...more than hold their own with our heroes.

The cover story / by Richardson-Moore, Deb,author.(CARDINAL)604641;
A fatal crash involving two college students heading home for the holidays seems like an unfortunate accident. But when the surviving girl wakens, she tells a curious story of the vehicle that forced them off the road--an old-fashioned, 1950s-style hearse. Reporter Branigan Powers delves into the mystery that takes her to the college campus, and leads her into dangerous fraternity and sorority pledge parties. Reunited with the homeless Malachi Martin, who is so adept at seeing what isn't there rather than what is, Branigan must uncover what is really going on at the college before other students are put in danger.

Fraternity : an inside look at a year of college boys becoming men / by Robbins, Alexandra,1976-author.(CARDINAL)706770;
Meet Jake, a studious new freshman weighing how far to go to find a brotherhood that will introduce him to lifelong friends and help conquer his social awkwardness; and Oliver, a hardworking chapter president trying to keep his misunderstood fraternity out of trouble despite multiple run-ins with the police. Their year-in-the-life stories help explain why students are joining fraternities in record numbers despite scandalous headlines. To find out what it's like to be a fraternity brother in the twenty-first century, Robbins contacted hundreds of brothers whose chapters don't make headlines. Brothers who suggested that many fraternities can be safe spaces for men. Fraternity is more than just an engrossing, character-driven read that includes a stunning twist. It's a vital book about the transition from boyhood to manhood; it weaves psychology, current events, neuroscience, and interviews to explore the state of masculinity today, and what that means for students and their parents. It's a different kind of story about college boys, a story in which they candidly discuss navigating identity, sex, social media, drinking, peer pressure, gender roles, and even porn. And it's a book about boys at a vulnerable age who, in a climate that can stigmatize them merely for being male, are trying to forge a path to manhood while on their own for perhaps the first time--and they don't want to navigate this complicated, coming-of-age journey alone.Includes bibliographical references.Introduction : a different kind of story about boys in college -- Joining : why go Greek? -- How fraternities became dominant in American culture -- House and hierarchy : what happens behind closed doors -- What it really means to represent the letters -- Pledging : "earning" the letters -- The secret reason hazing continues -- Why are students drinking? -- Why fraternity alcohol interventions don't work -- Girls and group identity : how chapters can influence guys' attitudes -- "How do I get the high fives?" : why good boys do bad things -- Looking out for each other and "helping the fraternity out" -- "Don't drink the punch" : mixers, matches, rape, and the sorority POV -- The brotherhood : relying on a second family -- "The fraternity saved my life" : what does brotherhood mean? -- What makes a (college) man : how fraternities view masculinity -- "It's okay to cry" : the pressures of masculinity and how fraternities can ease them -- Good fraternities vs. bad frats : how to tell the difference -- How to find a healthy chapter that's the right fit -- Advice for parents and students.

Sorority sisters / by Welch, Claudia,1956-(CARDINAL)399710;
"When life doesn't give you sisters, make your own. In 1975, trying to find a place to belong, they join a college sorority. Laurie was looking for a place to call home, even if it was only for the four years of college. She knew whatever bonds she made wouldn't last. Life had taught her that. Karen, as usual, was doing what her mother told her to do, even though she was afraid she wasn't pretty enough to be a sorority girl. Ellen was looking for friends--and the free beers that came with mandatory fraternity exchanges. And if her dad had to dig deep into his bank account to foot the sorority bill, so much the better. Diane, sexy and confident, with guys trailing after her like wolves on the scent, is the kind of woman other women hate. Until her mask slips... In the same pledge class, they found each other. Through parties and pranks, finals week and skipped classes, boyfriends and bad breakups, they forged a bond built on laughter and trust that takes them by surprise. No one expected it to last beyond college graduation. But some bonds are too strong to break. Now they're sisters. And with sisters, it's not about what happens. It's about no matter what happens.
