We GENERALLY don't look for whites who "try to be black" and we GENERALLY don't look for whites who dress a certain way. If they can understand and contribute to our histories and causes, that's evidenced by something more than the exterior. On most campuses, whites do not pursue NPHC orgs but those who do are doing so because they have a reason to believe their contribution is a possiblity beyond being treated like a TOKEN (both inside that chapter and outside of that chapter).
LOL...sometimes it's one of those days.  You actually did add something, though. |
you know, that was my first thought, but i was going for some similar correlation to "fratty." Though SouthernFratter seems to describe "fratty" as a style of dress, im sure its just as much as behavorial/way of thinking, in particular in a less-than-favorable way.
