"[Black Greek-Letter Organizations] have historically served
important civic functions for black America -- and this fine
anthology has more than empirically established that claim." --
Journal of Southern History
"A rich read about a side of Greek life seldom seen." -- Oxford
American
"Listed as a 2005 Best History Book by Black Issues Book Reviews"
--
"The essays explore the struggles, intentions, triumphs, and
setbacks of a determined group of nine black Greek-Letter
organizations (BGLO).... Descriptions of courageous and steadfast
men and women who labored long and hard to develop a spirit of
cooperation among collegiates and a commitment to building 'a
better society for all' emblazon each chapter. This book is a
resource that every college library and every chapter of every BGLO
should own and circulate to keep its history alive." -- Black
