This study sought to understand the reasons undergraduate women of color join a cultural-specific sorority. Through the use of an online survey, 159 narratives of women of color undergraduates attending predominately White institutions (PWIs) in the Midwest was conducted. LeCompte's (2000) 5-step analysis yielded four culturally focused meta-themes that addressed the participants' reasons for joining a cultural-specific sorority. The first meta-theme of "Elements of the Sorority" addressed the shared values, characteristics, and qualities that attracted the members to the cultural-specific sorority. Next, the "Emphasis of Relationships" meta-theme underscored the need to form meaningful and supportive family-like relationships with other undergraduate women of similar and cultural diverse backgrounds. The third meta-theme of "Importance of Growth," addressed how their sorority was a mechanism of empowerment to promote the development of women and communities of color. Finally, the "Personal Needs" meta-theme highlighted how sorority affiliation met their cultural and individual needs to persist academically. Importantly, the shared diverse values and family-like relationships were salient elements for the women of color to find a "home" in which they were comforted, valued, and supportively challenged. The study's findings underscore the need for cultural-specific student groups, which emphasize interpersonal connections, validate educational and personal experiences, and support academic empowerment on university campuses. Implications for university administrators regarding opportunities for family-like connections and culturally congruent activities are discussed to assist with the positive educational experiences and ultimate persistence of undergraduate women of color on predominantly White campuses.
