I'm not proud of it, but to try to deny there was never something like that in any fraternity is just as dangerous as denying the holocost.
thats what makes it all sound ridiculous. i'm sure alot of fraternities felt that way during various civil rights periods in history. i don't know about clauses, but i'm sure they had similar feelings.
there are plenty of black guys in good fraternities around the country..even in the south...and they don't seem to care. i can do nothing but applaud them. i just don't like the fact that some of these guys at howard feel necessary to play the race card....which is played way to much. i wonder how they would feel/react if a hoard of white guys wanted to come and pledge their national GLO. don't tell me theyd welcome them with open arms and just hand out bids.
