Supporting Fraternities and Sororities in the Contemporary Era is inspired by sustained and reoccurring professional conversations and scholarship that have suggested that not just change is necessary, but that there ought to be a fundamental shift towards reconceptualizing the construct of fraternities and sororities. The co-editors curate work from scholars and noteworthy practitioners from across higher education to provide an imperative text that reflects the complexity and expansiveness by addressing diversity, programming, and support approaches. This text commences with the understanding that issues will continuously exist, requiring a greater nuanced depth of appreciation to reduce their negative impact. It also summarizes national organizations from authentic, represented voices. Chapters then focus on solutions to support the fraternity and sorority experience, providing strategies and emerging explanations for the issues described in this text. Supporting Fraternities and Sororities seeks to do exactly as the title implies: to inform all stakeholders so that they can make better decisions about the future of these institutions.

Polaris, the Administrative Guide of the Tau Delta Phi Fraternity, enters its fourth edition. This book is much more than a "how to" on successfully running or building a chapter of Tau Delta Phi Fraternity. It is a story. It is the story of an originally Jewish Fraternity that became the first international fraternity to take down the color line in 1945. From its inception, Tau Delta Phi has demonstrated its progressive place in the fraternity movement. Its exceptional direction leads Tau Delta Phi to be a fraternity of firsts, the first to end fraternal segregation, the first modest sized fraternity to remove pledging and operate under a developmental training model for all members, and one of the first organizations to be accepting of men based solely on the content of their character, not the color of their skin, the way they choose to worship or not worship God, the country their family comes from, or even who they choose to fall in love with. Besides the story of an extraordinary fraternity, this book is also the story of the fraternity movement, a movement that Tau Delta Phi is proud to be a member of. Enter, and read about Tau Delta Phi's dynamic purpose and how it changes the lives of men forever.
