On November 9, 2011, as part of the Carter G. Woodson Lecture Series, the Africana and African American Studies program hosted a talk entitled “Groups, Organizations, and Identity: Intercultural Communication in Black Greek Letter Organizations.” The talk, presented by Robert Mock, UK’s Vice President for Student Affairs, highlighted a course that Mock will be teaching next semester called “Special Topics in African American Studies: Black Greek Letter Organizations” (AAS 400/COM 591). We talked with students, faculty, and staff in attendance about the event and their involvement in Greek life.
