REFLECTION:

In my search upon valid sources for my topic I ran across a source that would be useful subtopic within my paper. The source is a book that has information on the Divine Nine also known as the National Pan-hellic Council which contains the 9 African American Greek Letter organizations. My topic is sororities, and the book that I have will very useful for my paper. This book will reveal why each sorority was founded, and the principles upon which they were founded on. I can also utilize the book for the history, facts, prominent members, and other details about the four historically black women sororities.

do you want to focus specifically on African American sororities?

I think that you chose a really cool subculture, but I just wanted to know if you were going to specify it by either doing black male greek letter organizations or black female greek letter organization.
