gammagirl04 I understand that you were offended, but that's the way it is. It's unfortunate that he said that to you, but racism is still alive and well. At the turn of the 20th century my Fraternity's founders were not aloud in white organizations, so they decided to start their own and at the same time they made it a Fraternity that doesn't exclude anyone based own race, religion, or creed. Because of this, we have quite a few white members in our organization. Today most white fraternities and sororities still exclude African Americans from joining, based simply on the color of their skin. It doesn't surprise me though, because that's just how a lot of European Americans are. Always have been, always will be.
