This study investigates the dominant, co-occurring, and antecedent risk factors attributable to closing 12 chapters of Alpha Beta Fraternity between 2010 and 2017. The researcher utilized Yin's (2014) type-two methodology for this qualitative study: A single case design, with an embedded variant to include multiple units of analysis. Semi-structured interviews were conducted of 10 participants to include school administrators and members of Alpha Beta Fraternity. An analysis of the divergent data offered no clear line from the risk factor to the closing of a chapter. The results did indicate a convergence of risk factors influencing a chapter would provide a pathway to closing. Previous behavior or lack of diligence to essential functions on the part of the members were contributory in closing a chapter in this study. The problems of fraternity chapters, such as hazing, alcohol, sexual misconduct, substance abuse, and academics lie in its embedded culture (Shonrock, 1998). The problems which co-exist for fraternity chapters emanate from this culture and present a dilemma for the national organizations, university officials, and multiple stakeholders (Lizza, 2017; Shonrock, 1998 ). This culture does not align with the values, standards, and conduct required to sustain a viable chapter into the future (Lizza, 2017). These problems are explicated in the literature and bolstered by the interviews and data, which holds relevance to the notion that change must occur. Without change, the chapter and the larger fraternal system are in jeopardy. [The dissertation citations contained here are published with the permission of ProQuest LLC.
