Reflection:

I believe that the book The Divine nine: the history of African American fraternities and sororities will help me with my research because it has a lot of good information. Not only just with fraternities but it gives me information about fraternities and sororities. So it gives me a chance to compare the two and also compare the difference between each divine 9 and not just focus on one specifically. Also it gives me a chance to not be biased towards one or the other and read upon all 9 of them and the significance because as of now I’m still naïve about a lot of things dealing with fraternities and sororities so this book will enhance my knowledge.
