Black-facing: The Dark Side of Greek Life on College Campuses

Author: Greg Monge (Iowa State University)

Abstract

Certain incidents have been occurring around various college campuses within the Greek community; one in particular is known as "Black-facing." This session will talk about black-facing and provide a brief history and background of how traditional fraternities and sororities have used black-facing in their various parties and events. This increasing trend, as well as others, has caused tensions between traditional and nontraditional fraternities and sororities. This session will also talk about these tensions and incorporate a discussion to generate ideas to bring these two groups together.
