Sorority Membership Doesn't Necessarily Lead to Eating Disorders

The video discusses a study on the effects of sorority membership on eating disorders and body weight. Using data from the American College Health Association survey, the study employed advanced methods to explore causality. Results indicated that sorority membership might lower BMI but showed no clear causal link to disordered eating behaviors. The findings challenge the belief that sororities are a primary cause of adverse weight outcomes, suggesting that resources should be allocated elsewhere for better policy outcomes.
