Sorry to just barge in, but that's not really fair. No one person can be a good representative of African American life any more than one person can be a good representative of Caucasian life, or Hawaiian life, or Earthling life, etc...
One person can be a good representative only of a group which has certain intentions, or practices, or characteristics. Like, 'he's a good representative of Presbyterians, or Professional Swimmers, or XYZ Fraternity'.
But, all this is neither here nor there. None of this has anything to do with my feelings towards high school fraternities and sororities, which is the subject of the thread. My HS had the Key Club, which seemed fraternity-like. There were several sororities, but only one of them had Greek letters (and there were 4!); the rest had English names, but what difference does it really make. I wasn't in one, but I don't see why the girls who were in one shouldn't've had that opportunity if that's what they wanted.
All this just to say that I have no real opinion about HS sororities and fraternities.
Whatever.
