摘要
This project explores the meaning of membership for members of a Black Greek organization (BGO) and uncovers how the members utilize the fraternity to create various connections. It incorporates underutilized research on voluntary associations and draws attention to a necessary distinction between membership in a BGO and membership in a traditionally White Greek organization.
