The intersection of both race and gender are significant in understanding the experiences of Black women. Black sorority membership provides a space where the intersection of both race and gender are valued and understood. Black sororities also provide a sense of belonging, advocacy, and support to assist Black women at PWIs in navigating racism and sexism. While more Black students are attending PWIs, there has been a lack of attention paid to creating equity within systems that continue to marginalize Black women in predominantly white spaces. Using a phenomenological approach, this dissertation explores the experiences of racism and sexism faced by Black sorority women at Predominantly White Institutions (PWIs) and the impact of membership in a historically Black sorority.
