Abstract
Divine Nine fraternities and sororities have given thousands of black students a sense of support and community while attending college and beyond. This review dives into the history of these organizations at Frostburg State University. The purpose of our study is to discover how these organizations started at Frostburg State and how they impacted the community. Throughout our research process, we interviewed faculty members of such organizations inquiring about their experiences and the impact the organization had on their lives. We also used other resources such as peer-reviewed journals and historical archives. This review aims to shine a light on the experiences of black students attending a predominantly white institution.
