Why is it important?
Until this point network analysis has not been used to examine the impact of relationships within a sorority on body dissatisfaction. Body dissatisfaction is very prevalent among college age women and can lead to many negative mental and physical health consequences.
Perspectives
I think this article really brings some great points to consider for those looking to have a possitive impact on greek life and particularly the mental and physical wellbeing of college women.
