Black Greek 101: The Culture, Customs, and Challenges of Black Fraternities and Sororities

Book came in good condition.

I am considering joining a Black Greek Fraternal Organization, so I thought it would behoove me to do a little research on these entities. I like the fact, that it was coming from someone who was part of the BGLOs(Black Greek Lettered Organizations). And, he didn't seem to pull any punches, summarizing his experiences both positive and negative. Noting that the BGLO's have a lot to offer, but also a lot to work on. So, I did appreciate that, since I am a little older and would be joining a Alumni chapter of a BGLO some of the experiences of an undergrad will be missed. But, in the end, an experience it will be.

This book provided some basically need to know information if you are considering Greek Life! It doesn't go into detail about every D9 organization and their process, but its good to know info.

I heard Dr. Kimbrough speak at a conference that I attended at Rust College, Holy Springs Mississippi. He was AWESOME and sooooo DYNAMIC, I had to purchase his book. I loved it! I am greek myself, and it was definitely a great research tool for those looking at greek letter organizations. It breaks down our foundations and eliminates stereotypes of sorts that may plague the minds of those that are not in historically black greek letter fraternities and sororities.

good book that i bought before deciding on a Greek organization to join.

Good introduction to historically Black Greek Letter fraternities and sororities. A well researched book that provides good context.

purchased for in house library

I really enjoyed reading this book! It opened my eyes to fraternity!
