This is how we do it: Toward the Notion of Otherbrothering in the Research on Black Male Collegians and Black Male Greek-Lettered Organizations
2020
Overview
The emphasis, and in most cases, overemphasis of abysmal academic outcomes without deeper critical analyses regarding ways predominantly White institutions (PWIs) obviate the success of Black males has often dominated the research literature. As such, Black male perspectives regarding the ways in which they support each other in successfully navigating these fundamentally racist, hostile, and exclusive spaces are often missing from or under-discussed in the extant literature. This idea is particularly true for Black males who are members of Black Greek-lettered organizations whose experiences are often tainted by negative media and popular press surrounding hazing, death, and other types of malfeasance. Drawing on Lynn’s notion of otherfathering, the purpose of this article is to propose what the authors term otherbrothering and otherbrothers not only to locate the ways in which Black male collegians provide networks of support to assist each other in navigating PWIs but also to highlight the positive purposes of these organizations. Recommendations are provided for the field of higher education.
