Concerned Coaltions: Informal Groups in the United States House of Representatives
Creators: name: Miller, Collin

Year: 2018

description: Introduction
Why Informal Groups?
“When you don’t stick together, you don’t have an effect.”
— Congressman Mark Meadows (NC-11)
Chairman, House Freedom Caucus
Political scientists have long been interested in how legislators make their decisions in
office and on the campaign trail. Excellent scientific scholarship has highlighted why legislators
engage in many of the actions we care about such as bill introductions, votes, amendments,
statements to the press, and more recently, on social media platforms. In the political science
community, however, one crucial piece of the puzzle to understanding these behaviors of has
been largely ignored: membership in informal groups. Thus far, there have been very few
analyses of the role of these informal groups in the U.S. Congress, and, of those that do, an
analysis of the why of Congressional informal group membership is notably absent. This research
will seek to meaningfully fill this hole in the literature and develop theories of informal group
membership and how they relate to legislative behavior. While grounded in the particular rules,
customs, traditions, membership, and norms of the modern U.S. House of Representatives, the
findings of this research will attempt to be generalizable to other similar legislative institutions
such as the U.S. Senate, state legislatures, parliamentary systems, and perhaps even legislative
systems around the world.
Goals of Research
The primary goal of this research project shall be to help fill the existing dearth of
knowledge and scholarship that exists within the political science literature regarding informal
groups, determine what factors are relevant to members of the United States House of
Representatives and their decision to join informal groups within this body, and to help develop
an increased appreciation within the political science and public policy communities for these
groups and their policy effects. Through the research methods developed in this project, critical
and novel conclusions regarding informal groups shall be introduced and developed. This project
shall additionally create a roadmap for future research and academic analysis that, while beyond
the scope of this particular project, are nonetheless worthy avenues for further development.

Sparse Multinomial Logistic Regression via Approximate Message Passing

description: For the problem of multi-class linear classification and feature selection, we propose approximate message passing approaches to sparse multinomial logistic regression (MLR). First, we propose two algorithms based on the Hybrid Generalized Approximate Message Passing (HyGAMP) framework: one finds the maximum a posteriori (MAP) linear classifier and the other finds an approximation of the test-error-rate minimizing linear classifier. Then we design computationally simplified variants of these two algorithms. Next, we detail methods to tune the hyperparameters of their assumed statistical models using Stein's unbiased risk estimate (SURE) and expectation-maximization (EM), respectively. Finally, using both synthetic and real-world datasets, we demonstrate improved error-rate and runtime performance relative to existing state-of-the-art approaches to sparse MLR.
Computation of safe disturbance sets using implicit RPI sets

description: Given a stable linear time-invariant (LTI) system subject to output constraints, we present a method to compute a set of disturbances such that the reachable set of outputs matches as closely as possible the output constraint set, while being included in it. This problem finds application in several control design problems, such as the development of hierarchical control loops, decentralized control, supervisory control, robustness-verification, etc. We first characterize the set of disturbance sets satisfying the output constraint inclusion using corresponding minimal robust positive invariant (mRPI) sets, following which we formulate an optimization problem that minimizes the distance between the reachable output set and the output constraint set. We tackle the optimization problem using an implicit RPI set approach that provides a priori approximation error guarantees, and adopt a novel disturbance set parameterization that permits the encoding of the set of feasible disturbance sets as a polyhedron. Through extensive numerical examples, we demonstrate that the proposed approach computes disturbance sets with reduced conservativeness improved computational efficiency than state-of-the-art methods.

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy to Treat Depression in Older Adults: Integrative Review
Creators: name: Allen, Elizabeth Pope Timberlake
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2015

description: The purpose of this integrative literature review is to evaluate the feasibility and
effectiveness of utilizing mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) to treat depression in
older adults. MBCT is a safe and cost-effective treatment for depression. However, there is a
lack of literature on the use of MBCT in the geriatric population. Since each study made
different modifications to the original MBCT program to enhance its suitability for older adults,
it is unknown if or how the adaptations specifically impacted the effectiveness and feasibility of
the intervention. Additional research is needed to determine which modifications would be most
advantageous for the geriatric population. Regardless of the limitations of current research,
MBCT offers great promise for helping older adults with depression.
Food is the New Jazz: Jack Kerouac, Food and Cultural Decline
Creators: name: McMillan, Bo
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: The following pages will use food as an expressive focal point to frame,
inform and contextualize a literary analysis of how Kerouac writes food into his
works. The thesis will begin by exploring how heroic eating and agriculture
delineate the connection of food to civilization in The Town and the City, then will
proceed to outline how uprooted agents of marginal cultures interact with food in
On the Road. At its close, I will argue that The Dharma Bums presents an attempt to
create a syncretic fusion of foods and cultures that allows for the evasion of both
social and individual decline, the two themes to which food is closely tied in
Kerouac’s novels. Both projects can be linked to Kerouac’s in-depth introduction and
response to the pessimistic German philosopher Oswald Spengler at the behest of
William Burroughs in 1944 (Maher 122).

description: White light emitting diodes based on III-nitride InGaN/GaN quantum wells currently offer the highest overall efficiency for solid state lighting applications. Although current phosphor-converted white LEDs have high electricity-to-light conversion efficiencies, it has been recently pointed out that the full potential of solid state lighting could be exploited only by color mixing approaches without employing phosphor-based wavelength conversion. Such an approach requires direct emitting LEDs of different colors, in particular in the green/yellow range ov the visible spectrum. This range, however, suffers from a systematic drop in efficiency, known as the "green gap", whose physical origin has not been understood completely so far. In this work we show by atomistic simulations that a consistent part of the "green gap" in c-plane InGaN/GaN based light emitting diodes may be attributed to a decrease in the radiative recombination coefficient with increasing Indium content due to random fluctuations of the Indium concentration naturally present in any InGaN alloy.

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: This thesis analyzes the burial patterns of Mound C, known as the “Funeral Mound,” at Ocmulgee National Monument in Macon, GA. Using updated skeletal data from the Smithsonian Institution, this thesis notes patterns of age and sex in the Mound C burials, as well as patterns in burial position (extended, bundled, and flexed), burial type (primary and secondary), and grave good inclusion. The presence of numerous secondary burials and rearticulated burials in Mound C suggests a ritual re-burial process based on reinforcing kin group ties or reconstructing Mississippian creation myths through burial display.

description: Cells are strongly out-of-equilibrium systems driven by continuous energy supply. They carry out many vital functions requiring active transport of various ingredients and organelles, some being small, others being large. The cytoskeleton, composed of three types of filaments, determines the shape of the cell and plays a role in cell motion. It also serves as a road network for the so-called cytoskeletal motors. These molecules can attach to a cytoskeletal filament, perform directed motion, possibly carrying along some cargo, and then detach. It is a central issue to understand how intracellular transport driven by molecular motors is regulated, in particular because its breakdown is one of the signatures of some neuronal diseases like the Alzheimer. We give a survey of the current knowledge on microtubule based intracellular transport. We first review some biological facts obtained from experiments, and present some modeling attempts based on cellular automata. We start with background knowledge on the original and variants of the TASEP (Totally Asymmetric Simple Exclusion Process), before turning to more application oriented models. After addressing microtubule based transport in general, with a focus on in vitro experiments, and on cooperative effects in the transportation of large cargos by multiple motors, we concentrate on axonal transport, because of its relevance for neuronal diseases. It is a challenge to understand how this transport is organized, given that it takes place in a confined environment and that several types of motors moving in opposite directions are involved. We review several features that could contribute to the efficiency of this transport, including the role of motor-motor interactions and of the dynamics of the underlying microtubule network. Finally, we discuss some still open questions.

description: A graph has strong convex dimension $2$, if it admits a straight-line drawing in the plane such that its vertices are in convex position and the midpoints of its edges are also in convex position. Halman, Onn, and Rothblum conjectured that graphs of strong convex dimension $2$ are planar and therefore have at most $3n-6$ edges. We prove that all such graphs have at most $2n-3$ edges while on the other hand we present a class of non-planar graphs of strong convex dimension $2$. We also give lower bounds on the maximum number of edges a graph of strong convex dimension $2$ can have and discuss variants of this graph class. We apply our results to questions about large convexly independent sets in Minkowski sums of planar point sets, that have been of interest in recent years.

Functional Selectivity at the Dopamine D2 Receptor
Creators: name: Gavin, Ariana
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are seven-pass transmembrane proteins that
facilitate major physiological processes in humans. GPCRs are targets of more than 40% of
therapeutic drugs, which lead to activation of intracellular signal transduction proteins
(transducers). Drugs targeting GPCRs have recently been shown to have preference for certain
transduction pathways, a phenomenon termed functional selectivity. Drugs that are biased to
exclusively activate one transduction pathway have been found to be more efficacious and
produce fewer side effects. Therefore, understanding the nature of a ligand’s preference for a
particular transduction pathway may lead to the development of novel drugs with superior
therapeutic efficacy.

description: Technology is a complex system, with technologies relating to each other in a space that can be mapped as a network. The technology network's structure can reveal properties of technologies and of human behavior, if it can be mapped accurately. Technology networks have been made from patent data, using several measures of proximity. These measures, however, are influenced by factors of the patenting system that do not reflect technologies or their proximity. We introduce a method to precisely normalize out multiple impinging factors in patent data and extract the true signal of technological proximity, by comparing the empirical proximity measures with what they would be in random situations that remove the impinging factors. With this method, we created technology networks, using data from 3.9 million patents. After normalization, different measures of proximity became more correlated with each other, approaching a single dimension of technological proximity. The normalized technology networks were sparse, with few pairs of technology domains being significantly related. The normalized network corresponded with human behavior: we analyzed the patenting histories of 2.8 million inventors and found they were more likely to invent in two different technology domains if the pair was closely related in the technology network. We also analyzed 250 thousand firms' patents and found that, in contrast, firms' inventive activities were only modestly associated with the technology network; firms' portfolios combined pairs of technology domains about twice as often as inventors. These results suggest that controlling for impinging factors provides meaningful measures of technological proximity for patent-based mapping of the technology space, and that this map can be used to aid in technology innovation planning and management.

description: At fixed galaxy stellar mass, there is a clear observational connection between structural asymmetry and offset from the star forming main sequence, $Δ$SFMS. Herein, we use the TNG50 simulation to investigate the relative roles of major mergers (stellar mass ratios $μ\geq0.25$), minor ($0.1 \leq μ< 0.25$), and mini mergers ($0.01 \leq μ< 0.1$) in driving this connection amongst star forming galaxies (SFGs). We use dust radiative transfer post-processing with SKIRT to make a large, public collection of synthetic Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program (HSC-SSP) images of simulated TNG galaxies over $0.1\leq z \leq 0.7$ with $\log M_{\star} / \mathrm{M}_{\odot}\geq9$ ($\sim750$k images). Using their instantaneous SFRs, known merger histories/forecasts, and HSC-SSP asymmetries, we show (1) that TNG50 SFGs qualitatively reproduce the observed trend between $Δ$SFMS and asymmetry and (2) a strikingly similar trend emerges between $Δ$SFMS and the time-to-coalescence for mini mergers. Controlling for redshift, stellar mass, environment, and gas fraction, we show that individual mini merger events yield small enhancements in SFRs and asymmetries that are sustained on long timescales (at least $\sim3$ Gyr after coalescence, on average) -- in contrast to major/minor merger remnants which peak at much greater amplitudes but are consistent with controls only $\sim1$ Gyr after coalescence. Integrating the boosts in SFRs and asymmetries driven by $μ\geq0.01$ mergers since $z=0.7$ in TNG50 SFGs, we show that mini mergers are responsible for (i) $55$ per cent of all merger-driven star formation and (ii) $70$ per cent of merger-driven asymmetric structure. Due to their relative frequency and prolonged boost timescales, mini mergers dominate over their minor and major counterparts in driving star formation and asymmetry in SFGs.

description: A view of the Galactic bulge by means of their globular clusters is necessary for a deep understanding of its formation and evolution. Connections between the globular cluster and field star properties in terms of kinematics, orbits, chemical abundances and ages should shed light on different stellar population components. Based on spatial distribution and metallicity, we define a probable best list of bulge clusters, containing 43 entries. Future work on newly discovered objects, mostly from the VVV survey, is suggested. These candidates might alleviate the issue of missing clusters on the far side of the bulge. We discuss the reddening law affecting the cluster distances towards the center of the Galaxy, and conclude that the most suitable total-to-selective absorption value appears to be R$_{\rm V}$=3.2, in agreement with recent analyses. An update of elemental abundances for bulge clusters is provided.

Perceptions of Stress, Coping, and Cardiovascular Disease Risk Among West African Women
Creators: name: Ikharo, Ebahi
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2019

description: Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) has become a global public health epidemic, resulting in millions of deaths worldwide. Although CVD is a major population health issue, there has been a wide disparity in its presentation among black women, compared to non-Hispanic white women. Many studies have suggested that many of the disproportionately high rate of chronic illnesses that black women face in the United States, including CVD, are correlated with the amount of stress they experience. Additionally, population cohort studies suggested that stress is one of the major risk factors for cardiovascular disease. While the number of West African women immigrants living in the United States has been growing tremendously, there are no published studies that result their perspectives about stress and how it affects their cardiovascular health, health status and health needs. The purpose of this project was to review the literature on research on stress, coping, and CVD health among West African women and to gain insight on perspectives of stress, coping, and cardiovascular health among female healthcare professionals who are West African-born and currently living in the United States. By consulting women health care professionals that identify as West African, their expertise will be used to enhance and inform future work on stress, cardiovascular health and the possible frame work and application of the Superwoman Schema role in West African women.

description: Quantum coherence and quantum entanglement represent two fundamental features of non-classical systems that can each be characterized within an operational resource theory. In this paper, we unify the resource theories of entanglement and coherence by studying their combined behavior in the operational setting of local incoherent operations and classical communication (LIOCC). Specifically we analyze the coherence and entanglement trade-offs in the tasks of state formation and resource distillation. For pure states we identify the minimum coherence-entanglement resources needed to generate a given state, and we introduce a new LIOCC monotone that completely characterizes a state's optimal rate of bipartite coherence distillation. This result allows us to precisely quantify the difference in operational powers between global incoherent operations, LIOCC, and local incoherent operations \textit{without} classical communication. Finally, a bipartite mixed state is shown to have distillable entanglement if and only if entanglement can be distilled by LIOCC, and we strengthen the well-known Horodecki criterion for distillability.

description: The ability to characterize exoplanets by spectroscopy of their atmospheres requires direct imaging techniques to isolate planet signal from the bright stellar glare. One of the limitations with the direct detection of exoplanets, either with ground- or space-based coronagraphs, is pointing errors and other low-order wavefront aberrations. The coronagraphic detection sensitivity at the diffraction limit therefore depends on how well low-order aberrations upstream of the focal plane mask are corrected. To prevent starlight leakage at the inner working angle of a phase mask coronagraph, we have introduced a Lyot-based low-order wavefront sensor (LLOWFS), which senses aberrations using the rejected starlight diffracted at the Lyot plane. In this paper, we present the implementation, testing and results of LLOWFS on the Subaru Coronagraphic Extreme Adaptive Optics system (SCExAO) at the Subaru Telescope. We have controlled thirty-five Zernike modes of a H-band vector vortex coronagraph in the laboratory and ten Zernike modes on sky with an integrator control law. We demonstrated a closed-loop pointing residual of 0.02 mas in the laboratory and 0.15 mas on sky for data sampled using the minimal 2-second exposure time of the science camera. We have also integrated the LLOWFS in the visible high-order control loop of SCExAO, which in closed-loop operation has validated the correction of the non-common path pointing errors between the infrared science channel and the visible wavefront sensing channel with pointing residual of 0.23 mas on sky.

description: Previous results in the literature have found the young inner-disk open cluster NGC 6705 to be mildly $α$-enhanced. We examined this possibility via an independent chemical abundance analysis for 11 red-giant members of NGC 6705. The analysis is based on near-infrared APOGEE spectra and relies on LTE calculations using spherical model atmospheres and radiative transfer. We find a mean cluster metallicity of $\rm [Fe/H] = +0.13 \pm 0.04$, indicating that NGC 6705 is metal-rich, as may be expected for a young inner-disk cluster. The mean $α$-element abundance relative to iron is $\rm \langle [α/Fe]\rangle =-0.03 \pm 0.05$, which is not at odds with expectations from general Galactic abundance trends. NGC 6705 also provides important probes for studying stellar mixing, given its turn-off mass of M$\sim$3.3 M$_\odot$. Its red giants have low $^{12}$C abundances ([$^{12}$C/Fe]=$-$0.16) and enhanced $^{14}$N abundances ([$^{14}$N/Fe]=+0.51), which are key signatures of the first dredge-up on the red giant branch. An additional signature of dredge-up was found in the Na abundances, which are enhanced by [Na/Fe]=+0.29, with a very small non-LTE correction. The $^{16}$O and Al abundances are found to be near-solar. All of the derived mixing-sensitive abundances are in agreement with stellar models of approximately 3.3 M$_{\odot}$ evolving along the red giant branch and onto the red clump. As found in young open clusters with similar metallicities, NGC 6705 exhibits a mild excess in the s-process element cerium, with $\rm [Ce/Fe] = +0.13\pm0.07$.

Institutionalizing a Sustainable Food System: A Case Study of the Real Food Movement at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Creators: name: Hannapel, Claire

description: This is a case study of the various players, politics, and student-led action that make up
the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s food system. In order to place this case study in
the context it needs, I reviewed the development of our industrial food supply and the historic
alternative food movements that arose within American consumer culture. The resulting paper
outlines the current nature of UNC’s campus food service and student-led efforts to advance the
purchasing of real food – food that is local and community based, fair, ecologically sound, and
humane. Further analyses of the historic action address the layered and cyclical dynamics of
student activism and the fragility of a relationship-based food system.
What follows is in many ways a very personal story too. My time at UNC was dominated
by food – the study of it, the advocacy of sustainable, just food, and of course the consumption
of it. At UNC, it became my mission to sustain and deepen the relationships between students
and administrators. It was my passion to understand the politics of food, advocate for those
disempowered along our food supply chain, and develop systems of accountability and
transparency. In this paper, I point towards the significance of engaging with universities to
create effective, systemic, and accessible change within our food system. Though I have not
always been an activist, I have been a thinker and an eater, and those identities molded to form
something worthwhile. I wrapped my identity around our campus food system, and in doing so,
led a charge to stretch the meaning of Carolina.

description: It has long been suspected that the Global Navigation Satellite Systems exist in a background of complex resonances and chaotic motion; yet, the precise dynamical character of these phenomena remains elusive. Recent studies have shown that the occurrence and nature of the resonances driving these dynamics depend chiefly on the frequencies of nodal and apsidal precession and the rate of regression of the Moon's nodes. Woven throughout the inclination and eccentricity phase space is an exceedingly complicated web-like structure of lunisolar secular resonances, which become particularly dense near the inclinations of the navigation satellite orbits. A clear picture of the physical significance of these resonances is of considerable practical interest for the design of disposal strategies for the four constellations. Here we present analytical and semi-analytical models that accurately reflect the true nature of the resonant interactions, and trace the topological organization of the manifolds on which the chaotic motions take place. We present an atlas of FLI stability maps, showing the extent of the chaotic regions of the phase space, computed through a hierarchy of more realistic, and more complicated, models, and compare the chaotic zones in these charts with the analytical estimation of the width of the chaotic layers from the heuristic Chirikov resonance-overlap criterion. As the semi-major axis of the satellite is receding, we observe a transition from stable Nekhoroshev-like structures at three Earth radii, where regular orbits dominate, to a Chirikov regime where resonances overlap at five Earth radii. From a numerical estimation of the Lyapunov times, we find that many of the inclined, nearly circular orbits of the navigation satellites are strongly chaotic and that their dynamics are unpredictable on decadal timescales.

Non-Commutative Quiver Algebras and Their Geometric Realizations
Creators: name: Sun, Shengding

Year: 2017

description: The main goal of this paper is to study the (commutative) geometric objects whose properties correspond to those of the noncommutative algebras. Specically we are interested in the direct deformations of the usual commutative polynomial ring, and we use the tool of quiver algebras and representations to construct vector bundles Ei on projective spaces Pn whose endormorphism ring End(∑i Ei) corresponds to these deformations of the polynomial ring. These bundles will turn out to be the symmetric powers of T (-1) when the algebra is chosen to be the usual polynomial ring. We also derive some properties and exact sequences of these bundles, and in particular there is a short exact sequence showing that Symk(T (-1)) can be generated by O and O(-1) in the derived category on Pn for any k <=n.

description: We study three different random walk models on several two-dimensional lattices by Monte Carlo simulations. One is the usual nearest neighbor random walk. Another is the nearest neighbor random walk which is not allowed to backtrack. The final model is the smart kinetic walk. For all three of these models the distribution of the point where the walk exits a simply connected domain $D$ in the plane converges weakly to harmonic measure on $\partial D$ as the lattice spacing $δ\rightarrow 0$. Let $ω(0,|dz|;D)$ be harmonic measure for $D$, and let $ω_δ(0,|dz|;D)$ be the discrete harmonic measure for one of the random walk models. Our definition of the random walk models is unusual in that we average over the orientation of the lattice with respect to the domain. We are interested in the limit of $(ω_δ(0,|dz|;D)- ω(0,|dz|;D))/δ$. Our Monte Carlo simulations of the three models lead to the conjecture that this limit equals $c_{M,L} \, ρ_D(z) |dz|$, where the function $ρ_D(z)$ depends on the domain, but not on the model or lattice, and the constant $c_{M,L}$ depends on the model and on the lattice, but not on the domain. So there is a form of universality for this first order correction. We also give an explicit formula for the conjectured density $ρ_D$.
description: An error in the simulations for the ordinary random walk on the hexagonal lattice has been corrected. The error is discussed in the appendix of this version

description: Quantum superconducting circuit with flexible coupler has been a powerful platform for designing quantum thermal machines. In this letter, we employ the tunable coupling of two superconducting resonators to realize a heat valve by modulating magnetic flux using a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID). It is shown that a heat valve can be realized in a wide parameter range. We find a consistent relation between the heat current and quantum entanglement, which indicates the dominant role of entanglement on the heat valve. It provides an insightful understanding of quantum features in quantum heat machines.

Constraining distance and inclination angle of V4641 Sgr using ${\it SWIFT}$ and ${\it NuSTAR}$ observations during low soft spectral state

description: We present results from ${\it NuSTAR}$ and ${\it SWIFT}$/XRT joint spectral analysis of V4641 Sgr during a disk dominated or soft state as well as a powerlaw dominated or hard state. The soft state spectrum is well modeled by a relativistically blurred disk emission, a powerlaw, a broad Iron line, two narrow emission lines and two edges. The Markov Chain Monte Carlo simulation technique and the relativistic effects seen in the disk and broad Iron line allow us to self-consistently constrain the inner disk radius, disk inclination angle and distance to the source at 2.43$^{+0.39}_{-0.17}$ R$_g$ (GM/c$^2$), 69.5$^{+12.8}_{-4.2}$ degrees and 10.8$^{+1.6}_{-2.5}$ kpc respectively. For the hard state, the spectrum is a power-law with a weakly broad Iron line and an edge. The distance estimate gives a measure of the Eddington fraction, $L_{2.0 - 80.0 keV}/L_{Edd}$, to be $\sim$1.3 $\times$ 10$^{-2}$ and $\sim$1.9 $\times$ 10$^{-3}$ for the soft and hard states respectively. Unlike many other typical black hole systems which are always in a hard state at such low Eddington fraction, V4641 Sgr shows a soft, disk dominated state. The soft state spectrum shows narrow emission lines at $\sim 6.95$ and $\sim 8.31$ keV which can be identified as being due to emission from highly ionized Iron and Nickel in an X$-$ray irradiated wind respectively. If not due to instrumental effect or calibration error, this would be the first detection of a Ni fluorescent line in a black hole X$-$ray binary.

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2013

description: The National Panhellenic Conference is made of 26 organizations that form social relationships through membership in sorority chapters which influence more than 4 million women. This study investigated well-being among Panhellenic sorority women and non-Panhellenic sorority women at a large south-eastern university. The study hypothesized that Panhellenic sorority women would have higher rates of social connectedness, social sensitivity, gratitude, and positive emotions than non-Panhellenic sorority women. Panhellenic sorority women (n=48) and non-Panhellenic sorority women (n=55) completed the Reading the Mind through the Eyes, a gratitude letter, and self-reported surveys that assessed their levels of social connectedness, social sensitivity, gratitude, and positive emotions. The findings suggest Panhellenic sorority women have higher rates of social sensitivity and feel more integrated to their environment than non-Panhellenic sorority women.
