September 2025 -The Roads to Fraternity/Sorority Advising
Letter from the Editors
A decade ago, the pathway into fraternity/sorority advising was fairly straightforward: serve as a highly involved student leader, pursue a graduate program in higher education or student affairs, gain graduate-level experience, and then move into a professional role. Every once in a while, you’d hear about someone who had a “non-traditional” path into the work, and their story stood out because it was (seemingly) unique.
As a quarterly magazine, Perspectives provides a forum for research, ideas, and information related to fraternities and sororities that is thought-provoking and innovative, shares new information, highlights best practices, and challenges thought. Perspectives promotes the exchange of various angles, arguments, contexts, and experiences to stimulate a deeper understanding of fraternity and sorority advising, education, programs, and policies.
