Abstract:

While fraternity men are often implicated in research on status processes and gender relations, their voices, perspectives, and opinions remain curiously absent. Most studies also exclude minorities or fail to evaluate these groups in terms of their unique history, culture, and context. Analyzing 30 in-depth, individual interviews and surveys, along with two focus group interviews from 15 black and 15 white men, we investigate how black and white "high-status" fraternity men perceive race and status on campus. While both black and white fraternity men are socially empowered by their status on campus, they are also constrained by their status and conscious of their behavior concerning social and gender relations. However, status processes operate differently for the two races. Black fraternity men perceive and experience a “double-consciousness” attributable to the intersections of race and institutional culture, not exhibited by white men.
