Abstract	Researchers have suggested that student group involvement during college is beneficial for students on various academic and psychosocial measures. Most research has not focused on how different student groups provide different environments and support that impact students' experience. This ethnography focuses on one Christian student organization to explore how students draw boundaries around intersecting identities and how they affect students' experience within the organization. The findings suggest that although the organization expressed intentions of welcoming diverse Christian students, they were unaware and unequipped to interact with diverse students. This study highlights the need for further research to differentiate how different groups offer students a different experience and function as systems of oppression. Additionally, this study shows the importance of institutions in equipping students and student groups to prepare them to interact and include diverse populations. Although student groups may be beneficial, it is crucial to consider which students feel the most welcomed to reap the benefits. (As Provided).
