The present study examined disordered eating, sorority social norms regarding the

body and thinness, personal values regarding the body and thinness, body dissatisfaction,

thin ideal internalization, fat talk, negative affect, and positive affect among sorority and

non-sorority women. The aims of this study were to discern the underlying factor

structures of the sorority/group social norms questionnaires and the personal values

regarding the body and thinness questionnaire, investigate disordered eating among

sorority and non-sorority women over time, and further examine the impact of social

norms on sorority women's body and eating attitudes and behaviors. The results of this

research illustrated three main findings. First, sorority women did not differ from nonsorority

women on eating pathology. Second, fat talk, personal values regarding the body

and thinness, and body mass index predicted increased disordered eating over time in the

general college population of women. Third, the sorority and group social norms scale, as

well as the personal values regarding the body and thinness measure, were all developed

and showed evidence for validation in this research. Additionally, the sorority/group

social norms questionnaires and the personal values regarding the body and thinness

questionnaire demonstrated evidence for validation.
