Non Black Members of BGLOs

(From an email)

My name is Matthew W. Hughey, a Ph.D. candidate in sociology at the University of Virginia and a brother of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. (Rho Beta Chapter, Fall 1996).

I am looking to interview non-Black members of Historically Black Greek Letter Organizations (HBGLOs) for a chapter to be included in a follow-up volume to African American Fraternities and Sororities: The Legacy and the Vision (2004). I am looking to include the history, culture, and interactive experiences of non-Black members in HBGLOs.

I am also interested in hearing from people who are Black members of HBGLOs who have experiences with non-Blacks as their fellow members.

I hope to start phone or email interviewing soon. If you would like to be kept anonymous, that is fine, and if you would like to be identified (if I include your comments in the final draft) that is fine as well.

Please contact me:
