The document summarizes a Greek 101 program at UC San Diego that aims to educate Greek life members on issues like drug and alcohol abuse, hazing, diversity and inclusion, and sexual assault. It provides an overview of Greek life demographics at UCSD, outlines the program's learning outcomes and goals, and describes assessment methods used to evaluate the program, which included a post-survey. The assessment found that learning outcomes were mostly met, though some questions had lower response rates, indicating areas for improvement. The summary identifies key lessons for strengthening assessment, such as refining questions and allowing more time for the survey.

12. Literature Review
History
Positives: leadership,
serviceship, and
responsibility
Negatives: institutionalized
exclusivity, hazing, cultural
appropriation,
heteronormativity,
hypermasculinity, drug and
alcohol abuse, sexual
violence, and insensitivity
issues
Current Events
Issue at UC San Diego:
“Compton Cookout”
NASPA Article: “Racism and
Sexism in Greek Events: A
Call for Sensitivity”
Greek Communities’ Issues
with Alcohol, Hazing, Sexual
Assault, and Cultural
Appropriation
Recommendations
Ganser and Kennedy:
• Highly visible on campus
• Contain such creative
components as skits
and role plays depicting
racist and sexist events
and alternatives to them
• Informational
presentations
14. Theoretical Foundations
Schlossberg’s Theory of
Marginality and Mattering
(1989)
Creating community
Confronting historical
marginalization of groups
Baxter Magolda’s Theory of
Self-Authorship (2003)
Phases of Self-Authorship
1. Following formulas
2. Crossroads
3. Becoming the author
of one’s life
4. Internal foundation
Renn’s (2003) Ecological
Model of Multiracial
Identity Development
Torres’ (2003) Bicultural
Orientation Model
Kohlberg (2005) identified six stages of moral development.
Three levels of development:
preconventional (Stages 1 and 2),
conventional (Stages 3 and 4), and
postconventional (Stages 5 and 6).
15. Assessment Tool
• Assessment team created
survey/quiz
• Distributed survey during last
10 minutes of program

able to identify at least three
factors that contribute to
BAC levels.
• 7 questions for the 7 SLO’s
• 4 questions asking
students to list the
answer(s)
• 2 open-ended (2-3
sentences)
• Assessed with rubric
• 1 matching
• 2 satisfaction questions
16. Rubrics
5. In 2-3 sentences, please describe the meaning of cultural appropriation (PLO#3,

21. Limitations & Recommendations
• Timing/filling out
survey/Technology
• Have closing remarks
after survey
• Challenge: What is success?
• Not all questions filled out
• Randomize questions
• Examples from
presentation used in
answers
• Change questions/
reword questions
• Lack of collaboration with
Student Health Promotions
