N2  - OBJECTIVE: This study explored the relation between interest and membership in a fraternity and acceptance of sexual violence (e.g., rape myth acceptance, proclivity to perpetrate sexual aggression) among first year college men. PARTICIPANTS: A total of 315 men were surveyed before their first year of college (June - August 2010) and again at four time points over the next year. <br><br>METHODS: Participants responded to measures of rape myth acceptance and proclivity to perpetrate sexual aggression. <br><br>RESULTS: Interested members scored higher on proclivity to perpetrate sexual aggression and some rape myths than non-interested non-members; interested non-members scored in between the two groups. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: Results highlight the importance of considering both fraternity membership and interest in joining a fraternity, as well as examining individual rape myths, in studies of fraternity membership and sexual violence.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
