Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the differences on selected variables between girls in the upper half of their high school graduating class who drop out and remain at the University of Nebraska.

More specifically, the purposes of this study are to determine if the dropout rate is affected by sorority membership, extracurricular activities, educational level of parents, income level of parents, college grade point average, and high school quartile.
