“…Nearly all (86%) of Latinos report feeling that one cannot be too careful about whom one places trust in, while 61% of the general public reported feeling the same (Taylor et al, 2012). e importance of relationships for Latino college students means that cultivation of social capital, particularly with institutional personnel, is key to enhancing their success (Brown, 2008;Mina, Cabrales, Júarez, & Rodríguez-Vásquez, 2004). Access to social capital through social networks that provide encouragement, support, and useful information can help Hispanic students succeed (e.g., Núñez, 2005;Saunders & Serna, 2004;Ríos-Aguilar & Deil-Amen, 2012;R.…”

“…Feeling a sense of belonging enhances engagement, involvement, and participation within these organizations which then translates to enhancing the sense of belonging to the larger campus. Belonging facilitates a host of additional educational outcomes as previous studies have demonstrated including completion (Garcia, 2005; Hernandez, 2002; Hurtado et al, 2007; Mayo et al, 1995; Mina et al, 2004; Suarez et al, 1997).…”

“…As a result, the literature specifically centering the experiences of Latin@ Greeks is very limited. In fact, only a handful of sources (Estrada, Mejia, & Hufana, 2016; Fajardo, 2015; Garcia, 2005; Mina, Cabrales, Juarez, & Rodriguez-Vasquez, 2004; Olivas, 1996; Orozco, 2003; Orta, Murguia, & Cruz, 2017) discuss the topic. This dearth of information on the unique experiences of minority Greeks provides both a limited empirical context for this work, as well as provides a rationale for researching this understudied student population.…”

“…For Latin@ students, membership in a Greek organization provided unity and created a sense of belonging on campus. Mina et al (2004) also attributed involvement in a cultural fraternity to facilitating persistence. Using a phenomenological approach, another study examined brotherhood among Latinos and found it to be a multidimensional and intersectional construct.…”

This study explored the reasons Latin@s join Latino fraternities and Latina sororities at a university in the southwestern United States. Via a phenomenological approach, it uncovered the unique placement of Latino Greek-letter organizations and their role in the success of Latin@ students by embodying the intersectionality of academics, social interaction, accountability, community service, cultural congruency, and brotherhood/sisterhood. Findings highlight the concepts of social isolation, navigation, sense of belonging, Latino culture, and “Not Greek. Latin@ Greek.”

“…Entering a new and unfamiliar world, students may experience an "outsider within" status, enduring a great deal of social isolation (Oliver, Rodriquez, & Michelson, 1985); intimidation; and a sense of being pulled between two different worlds, their campus and cultural communities (Gloria & Pope-Davis, 1997;Mina et al, 2004). For students from cultural backgrounds that place high value on the family, family obligations such as housework or child care may become major sources of stress in conjunction with academic and other personal responsibilities (Constantine & Chen, 1997;Lopez, 1995).…”

Hispanic seminary students in American theological schools face considerable challenges as they work to pursue their degrees. Many balance service to the ministry and community involvement with the rigors of academia. Cultural barriers leave students pulled between two worlds. Focus groups of Hispanic seminary students and data drawn from the Latino/a Seminary Student Survey were used to develop suggestions in providing more supportive and culturally sensitive curricula to attract and retain Hispanic students.
