From their founding, Greek letter organizations have maintained
legacies of exclusion that have particularly targeted minoritized
people including Black, Indigenous, People of Color as well as
queer and transgender individuals. In response to larger societal
oppression and, more specifically, historical discriminatory
practices within historically white sororities and fraternities,
culturally-based sororities and fraternities emerged to serve and
lift up minoritized communities. Culturally-based sororities and
fraternities (CBSFs) include Asian American, Black, Latinx/a/o,
LGBTQ, Multicultural, and Historically Native American sororities
and fraternities. Unfortunately, conversations on sorority and
fraternity life (SFL) have prioritized historically white
organizations, perpetuating the same legacies of oppression that
led to the formation of culturally-based groups to begin with. This
book is a form of resistance to these power dynamics and brings to
light the histories, legacies, and strengths of CBSFs as well as
ways to re-envision equitable support for these organizations. This
book will be instrumental to SFL practitioners, (inter)national
sorority and fraternity leadership, and for all SFL members in
their efforts to increase their awareness of CBSFs. Additionally,
campuses are increasingly embracing opportunities to understand
minoritized students' experiences on campus and to center equitable
practice. This book could be used during professional development
workshops for deans, faculty, and student affairs professionals to
consider how well they are supporting minoritized students and,
more specifically, those who are in culturally-based sororities and
fraternities. This text can also serve as an important resource for
college courses focused on college students, student affairs, and
social justice in higher education.
