I don't think I've ever been on the same thread as Tom Earp, but reading his responses here easily demonstrates that he deserves to be browbeaten for his antiquated POV. His ignorant statements exemplify the negativity that surrounds Greekdom, and I'm proud that two of his own brothers can see it. Most of GC can see it. If you can't see it, then that tells us a lot about you. Bless your heart.
Back to the Pikes at Howard: I hope the colonization goes well for them. They will not be happily accepted by 100% of HU's population because new NPHC colonies/chapters are not always 100% accepted by the current NPHC chapters already on campus. (I've never seen it with my own eyes, but I have received firsthand accounts from older members.) The chapter will either flourish over the years, or it will putter out after the brothers of the colony graduate. Only time will tell. It's too bad that people won't wait to see if the Howard colony will make a great name for Pike based on their actions and reputation.
I wish we could get an update (or a blog!) from one of the HU Pikes.... 
OPhiARen3: I saw the ubiquitous "Georgia Tech University", and I was upset as a Georgian. I just couldn't point it out on GC as a proud Bulldog.

Thanks for that grammar lesson. However, I would think the Georgia State Education System would teach you that y'all is incorrect grammar and used primarily in the South, informally to address a group. If you were being grammar specific you would not contract "you all" into the slang y'all. I think "y'all" might come under the more North Easterly "youse guys" or the Western non-gender-specific "guys."
