Any word on the Pike Colony at Howard
 

I was just wondered if anyone had heard anything about the Pike Colony at Howard? Are they doing well? Are they still there? How many men do they have? What are the biggest hurdles that they have to climb?

thanks

Finding white people at Howard.

:rolleyes:

lmao

In all seriousness, they are still there. They did not all graduate. As for how they will fare... time will only tell.

thats funny brobuzz - so does anyone know how many men they have?

It's kind of still the summer break at Howard.....

lol

Not actually... Freshman Move-In was this past week-end.

But classes do not officially start until the 28th.

Because we all know how active Greek life at Howard is in the critical time between Freshmen move-in and the first day of classes. :D

Well... it's not summer break anymore...

And actually the first Greek event WAS Freshman Move-In.

I believe there were some PIKES helping on that day, to keep this thread on topic. (One was pointed out to me by my undergrads... which is why I know they did not all graduate).

To keep the thread even further on topic, the original poster COULD just ask a Pike or wait for a response from a Pike, which neither of us are.

Good point, but the point of interest is still finding out how they are doing.

I hope this origninal poster finds out and let all of us know.

There have a grip of Pikes at HU. Me knowing a couple of the men affliated with the colony, I know it's not going to fail.

I'm a Pike and I asked a friend at Headquarters about the Howard colony. National is very pleased; I was told the colony has about 60 men and they are rushing in the manner of our chapters rather than through intake like the HBGLOs do.
I was against us going to Howard because of the perception of us interfering with someone else's established culture. I wanted a chapter that is identifiably one of ours, and not an IFC fraternity trying to imitate a HBGLO. From what I've heard, it sounds to me like we're on the right track.
There was a remark earlier about white guys. I'm told very few whites attend Howard so I assume that our colony is composed mostly if not entirely of black men.
