Why Latin@s Become Greek: Exploring Why Latin@s Join Latino Greek-Letter Organizations
Arellano, Lucy
Journal of Hispanic Higher Education, v19 n3 p280-302 Jul 2020
This study explored the reasons Latin@s join Latino fraternities and Latina sororities at a university in the southwestern United States. Via a phenomenological approach, it uncovered the unique placement of Latino Greek-letter organizations and their role in the success of Latin@ students by embodying the intersectionality of academics, social interaction, accountability, community service, cultural congruency, and brotherhood/sisterhood. Findings highlight the concepts of social isolation, navigation, sense of belonging, Latino culture, and "Not Greek. Latin@ Greek."
