As an HU student...I am very glad that PKA has come to campus...I see it as ground breaking...and I am proud my HBCU is the first to do so....but I do have a few points I want to mention...
The D9 orgs on campus (in my opinion) need to take a looong hard look at themselves. They disrespect EVERY other Greek org on the yard, not just social ones. I have had Deltas tell me I am either not Greek or a "half" Greek just because neither one of my orgs is PanHell...when D9 members run major school publications (IE the Yearbook or the newspaper) magically other Greek orgs on campus get shunned and called "clubs" or "groups". Mnay of them view the non Pan Hell Greeks as "stepping stones" to become Pan Hell...it's riduclous. Kappa Alpha Psi (which hasn't been on the yard offically in 5 years at least) gets more respect from student activites (which is filled with D9 members) than orgs with stable membership intake on the yard (such as the largest 3 frats on the yard: Phi Sigma Pi, Alph aPhi Omega, and Delta Sigma Pi). Who remembers when Alpha Phi Omega rechartered...and the Alphas and Ques cut a damn fool? I REMEMBER VIVDLY having Deltas disrespect me and my LSs when we rechartered Gamma Sigma Sigma and have continued to do so ever since....my TBS Chapter had some random Sigma post hateful messages on our guestbook on our website, yelling at us throwing up "his frat's sign". How many articles were posted in the Hilltop last year saying only the D9 have the right to have line numbers, names, colors, hand signs, and calls? TOO MANY TO NAME. I feel it is a spit in the face of yoru founders (many of whom came form HU by the way) the way some of your memebership disses the non D9 on this campus...do you have to criticize others in order to make yourself look good? That's the impression I get from the actives at this school...well, at least the actives who were here the past few years.
I would think you would rather they go and charter a frat they feel they would belong to rather than to pledge your orgs and be a do nothing memebr......
That's just my 2 cents....I could go on longer...but I know my words will probably fall on deaf ears...
