If that's the case, you all could rush some black guys. Their not going through rush isn't a factor if you all do as many private rush parties as you claim. You say, "well no black guys came to the parties." Right. Did you invited any? That might be the problem.

Would you please shut up......seriously.....this is getting ridiculous. WE DON"T HAVE TO RUSH A DAMN BLACK GUY IF WE DON'T WANT TO. It's as simple as that. If you despise the fact that we recruit from specific areas with specific guys in mind......tough .....that is how it is. Why are you trying to make this sound like we have to do this, and have to do that?.....we don't have to do anything. We have every right in the world to keep our fraternity highly selective, rush guys from the same areas we always do, and do things the way we want it. I'm not going to openly search different cities and comb through rush to find a black guy that may have a few things in common with us when there are tons of other guys that we KNOW exhibit the qualities that we want. It doesn't make any sense to do that........and i'm especially not going to do it when I can count the number of black guys that go through IFC rush on one hand. I don't know about other campuses...but I think its safe to say that down here......black guys that want to join a fraternity are perfectly content with pledging a BGLO.

Find me a black man at the University of Texas, or anywhere for that matter, that likes to play golf, listen to Grateful Dead and the Allmans, duck hunt, fly fish, talk politics, go to Widespread Panic concerts, drink 25 year old scotch neat, and spend time at a country club drinking brandy and smoking cigars.......and maybe i'll take your thoughts into consideration. I haven't seen it......and I know/meet/see/am around black people on a daily basis. Don't sit here and feed us some bs about how not finding black people that are similar to us is a reflection on our attitudes concerning race.

So what do you think about Black oganizations that are......gasp........ALL BLACK? Maybe I should go bitch and moan to them about how they should diversify before they rock the very foundations of civilization as we know it.
Why do you keep saying things about "bringing about positive changes"?? THERE ISN'T ANYTHING WRONG!!!!!!!!! Our chapter is doing great, what's there to change? I feel like i'm having a discussion with a brick wall.
