This documentary was produced during winter term 2006 by Oregon State University student Reagan Le as a component of coursework assigned for CSSA 505 - "Multicultural Competency in Student Affairs." It documents the perspectives, experiences and frustrations of members of African American Greek letter organizations at OSU and consists primarily of snippets from a group interview conducted with three people: Jarvez D. Hall (Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity), Earlean Huey Wilson (Ujima Education Office) and Charlene Addy McGee (Delta Sigma Theta sorority). Each segment of the documentary is preceded with a title card that conveys the subject matter being discussed. These segment titles are as follows:
- Support from Greek Life and the "Traditional Greeks"
- Challenges
- The Office of IFC and Panhellenic
- Interfraternity Council
- The "All University" Sing
- Pockets of Support...
- Changes Start with Student Affairs Professionals...
Major themes of the documentary include feelings of disconnect between multicultural Greek organizations and "traditional" Greek organizations as well as umbrella groups such as the Interfraternity Council, Panhellenic Council and Greek Life. Narrators also discuss their sense of isolation from the larger campus community and the need for more open dialogue at OSU. The interview with Wilson, Hall and McGee was conducted at the OSU Ujima Education Office on March 3, 2006.
At time stamp 0:15:10, the interview component of the documentary concludes. The remainder of the film consists of footage of step performances from the 13th annual Black Heritage Fashion Show, which was held in the Memorial Union ballroom on February 26, 2006. Members of Delta Sigma Theta sorority, Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity, and Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority are shown performing on stage.
