In the late 20th century, many college campuses experienced the emergence and flourishing of Hispanic Greek letter societies. Concerned with the concurrent decline in student activism, the author asks, "What is the political significance of Hispanic Greek letter societies on our campuses?" and "Should we, as Latina/o faculty, be concerned about the growing trend toward service organizations?" These questions are placed in the larger historical contexts of White and Black Greek letter societies, Chicana/o-Latina/o political histories in the United States, and socioeconomic inequalities in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
