The purpose of this research study was to examine the educational and social experiences of seven, undergraduate African American women attending a predominantly White institution in the Midwest. Utilizing Cross’s model of Black Racial Identity Development (BRID), the research study explored how Black women have come to know their racial selves, prior to enrolling at an institution of higher education and currently through their membership in one of the four, traditional Black Greek sororities. Initial findings suggest that family, a sense of faith and the presence of role models or mentors were influential in Black women's development of a racial identity. Likewise, their initiation into one of the four, traditional Black Greek sororities has served as a coping mechanism while navigating a predominantly White learning environment, and assisted in providing women- and community-centered support systems. 2004 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1407140032 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1407140032 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
