In this multi-method study I explored the membership experiences of thirty one Black sorority members through in-depth interviews, this data was supplemented with an analysis of chat room discussions and popular press articles about the groups. The respondent pool included both undergraduate and graduate members to expand the range of sorority experiences discussed in the study. The findings are framed within an intersectional analytical lens in which I argue Black sororities are best understood by examining the relationship between race, gender and class in Black women's lives. The following themes emerged from the data: first, membership in a Black sorority is used as a racial strategy in college providing a safe haven for members as a response to racialized space on predominantly White institutions, and racial privilege and entitlement is embedded in cyberspace interaction. Second, there are various factors that determine which group women seek to join. The legacy of skin color politics, gendered racism and classism played a large role in which organizations respondents saw as desirable, and where they believed they best "fit." Third, graduate (alumnae) membership in Black sororities is invaluable to members as a way to maintain relationships with their sisters, involvement in community service and professional networking. The implications for these results are discussed for the groups and individual members, as are suggestions for future research on Black sororities.
