Abstract

This study was directed to evaluate the mediating role of self-esteem on the association between fraternity engagement and social behavior of the collegiate and alumni members of a Greek-lettered Filipino organization in 2024–2025. It bridged the gap by describing the perceived level of self-esteem, fraternity engagement, and social behavior of the respondents, tested the difference between the collegiate and alumni members’ self-esteem, fraternity engagement, and social behavior, tested if self-esteem and fraternity engagement significantly influence the respondents’ social behavior. Researchers used the descriptive, comparative, and correlational causal designs. There were 119 respondents selected by simple random sampling surveyed using valid and highly reliable instruments. Researchers used the mean, standard deviation, Mann-Whitney U-test, and multiple linear regression and mediated regression using bootstrap technique. This study revealed very high levels of self-esteem, fraternity engagement, and social behavior among the respondents. Collegiate and alumni members’ levels of self-esteem, fraternity engagement, and social behavior were not significantly different. Furthermore, fraternity engagement influenced self-esteem, while self-esteem and fraternity engagement significantly influence the respondents’ social behavior. Self-esteem was a significant mediator in the relationship between fraternity engagement and social behavior. This study had intense implications for the organization’s national and local leaders and future researchers.
