Save the crime statistics drivel for a more appropriate topic. MCGLO's exist because America has a long way to go in the race relations department.

Explain to me your thoughts on my "unearned skin privelege." Seeing as how I am white, I would like to know why you feel I havent earned the right to well, be an affluent white person. I think you are pretty much full of shit on this point.
You say that people of color aren't "willing" to join our organizations like we are throwing bids at them and they are declining them. Rather ignorant if you ask me. You speak like MCGLOs being put into place is a bad thing? I don't see how. Its a good place for people of like minded culture and traditions to be together and form relationships.
I am sorry, but I just don't see, especially in the South, blacks and minorities lined up at prominent white top fraternites wanting to receive a bid. I mean, show me a black guy that likes Huey Lewis and the News, Steve Winwood, Texas Music, Widespread Panic, wearing loafers and croakies, and is educated in fine Scotch and cigars......and i'd probobly think he was pretty badass........I have yet to see it......anywhere......period.
Why do you feel that historically white, prominent chapters have to embrace minorities and diversify? It is their right to be selective.
