Studentencorpora en elitevorming

Samenvatting

Student Fraternities and the Formation of Elites. To investigate the role of traditional Dutch university student fraternities in the recruitment of the elite, questionnaire data were obtained from 1,764 former fraternity leaders (1960-1980) now in the corporate, administrative, and political elite. Results show that alumni of fraternities at the University of Utrecht and the University of Leiden are particularly prominent in the national elite. The religious universities at Nijmegen and Tilburg and the Free University of Amsterdam score high in recruitment of the political elite, but low in the economic elite. The higher the aristocratic representation on a fraternity's governing board, the stronger the impact of board membership on elite recruitment. 5 Tables, 1 Figure, 17 References.
