So do you consider the "non-25/52 chapters" as your real frat and real sorors?
I love answering questions of the curious. Because it a growth opportunity for either party. Yes they are our real fraternity brothers and real sorority sisters.
and how do you non-family members (if there are any on this board) feel about this statment?
They are always around. Most of them do not care. Because they have there own family right in there coed chapter and near by chapters.
Are ya'll not in the same organization(s)?
Yes we are.
Why the separatist attitude?
It's not an attitude, it's a state of being. I was told by a white female that she could stand white who acted black. What? What's that? If you are on a predominately black campus the enviorment is very different than if you were on a predominately white campus. Greek life also varies between the predominately black GLO's and predominately white GLO's and Hispanic.
This separation is nothing new. It's a natural flow. The Bayou Classic is a huge event in the state of Louisania, but even if you love college football you wouldn't see that many people other than black. Tennessee State University has a near 30 percent enroll ment of people other than black, but when they have games or campus events you do not even see them. Why? do yo think that is?
Alpha Phi Omega and Gamma Sigma Sigma is like the United States in that you have a large contingency of the different races. And if you have a large number of one race with rich traditions within a their community of people, the way we are should not get flushed by anybody who don't think we ought to even be. Even though we carry those traditions from chapter to chapter, it is up to the chapter or individual who would like to be in the 25/52 family.
Keep asking and it will get even better
JayBEE!
