The admission of Black students to institutions of higher learning did not just provide an opportunity for Blacks to receive degrees, but it also sparked an interest for these students to take part in the campus co-curricular life. The creation of the Black sorority gave African American women an opportunity to change the racial, social, and economic dynamic of African Americans, and the ability to address the unequal state of affairs for fellow Black women. The historically Black sorority has had long traditions of uplifting the community, but also has had a dark history of hazing in the membership indoctrination process. It is the hazing violence within the historically African American sorority that presents concern, as it is a subject that continues to be a problem for members, potential members, and the institutions that host these extraordinary organizations. This research sought to add to the body of knowledge on the experiences of Black women within the context of membership in historically Black sororities. More specifically, this study sought to uncover the value of hazing in the organizational dynamics through the exploration of the membership experiences of the women who choose to affiliate. The study's participants provided descriptive accounts of their membership experiences through stories and reflections during two interviews conducting using a semi-structure interview protocol. The women in this study gave voice to meaningful moments that related to the oppressive nature of hazing, as well as moments that brought clarity to their identities as women. The objectives of this study were to (a) explore the dynamics of hazing in the organizational dynamic of Black sorority life, and (b) understand the position membership holds in the perception of Black womanhood. Analysis of data revealed five significant themes: (a) the uniqueness of the Black sorority experience, (b) comprehensive nature of hazing, (c) the complexity of sisterhood and sister relations, (d) community uplift and exclusivity, (e) demonstration of Black womenhood.
