Abstract: While an abundance of literature addresses undergraduate students' lack of success in engineering programs, fewer studies examine the persistence of minority females, especially of Latinas. This study employed a qualitative method of inquiry to gain insight into the reasons why Latina undergraduate engineering majors sought membership in student organizations. Data analysis emerged the following findings: (a) "fulfilling academic and social needs", (b) "seeking a sense of belonging", and (c) "choosing not to coalesce on the basis of race". The categorization of the aforementioned broad themes provides greater insight into the reasons why Latinas sought membership in certain student organizations.
