Publication Type: Invited Paper Abstract: During the infusion of Civil Rights and Black Power rhetoric on U. S. college campuses, young African American sorority women embraced the ideology of social, political and economic equality. Domestic and international events of the 1950s and 1960s proved to be a flash point in the consciousness and activism of young African American sorority women. The assassinations of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr., the emergence of several independent African nations, the Vietnam War and a host of other events informed African American sorority women’s activism on college campuses. They spearheaded program initiatives to address the immediate needs of Black students and the larger Black community. This essay seeks not to simply insert collegiate African American sorority women into the grand narrative of the Civil Rights- Black Power Movement. Rather, it seeks to uncover their agency and spark further inquiry regarding the relevance of and connection between African American sororities and the struggle for racial equality. This essay will primarily focus on the activism of collegiate African American sorority women.
