Abstract:In this qualitative, multiple-case study, I explored the perceptions of members of Latinx/a/o–based sororities and fraternities and their feelings of belonging within the greater fraternity and sorority life (FSL) community. Findings reflect the salience of race and privilege in participant experiences as individuals recognized their organizations as different worlds from sororities and fraternities within the National Panhellenic Council and Interfraternity Council. Critical Race Theory and LatCrit were used to examine the roles of race and racism within the FSL community while also underscoring the unique experiences of Latina/o FSL members from 2 large, predominantly White universities in the Midwest. Findings suggest implications for addressing inequity within FSL communities and recommendations for future research.

“他们甚至不知道我们的存在”：为拉丁裔/o 成员探索联谊会和兄弟会社区的归属感

摘要：在这项定性的多案例研究中，我探讨了基于拉丁语/a/o 的姐妹联谊会和兄弟会成员的看法以及他们在大兄弟会和联谊会生活 (FSL) 社区中的归属感。调查结果反映了参与者体验中种族和特权的显着性，因为个人认识到他们的组织与全国泛希腊委员会和兄弟会委员会内的姐妹会和兄弟会不同。批判种族理论和 LatCrit 被用来检查种族和种族主义在 FSL 社区中的作用，同时还强调了来自中西部 2 所主要是白人的大型大学的拉丁裔/o FSL 成员的独特经历。调查结果表明对解决 FSL 社区内的不平等的影响以及对未来研究的建议。
