I so agree with you on that one. To respond to the post about the news article, I feel that joining a NPHC sorority vs. a NPC sorority is different than attending a racially segregated prom. My highschool was so racially mixed and eclectic that we all would have wanted to hear Lynard Sknyrd, Ozzy Ozborne and MJ/MC Hammer in a P. Diddy remix featuring Ja Rule and J. Lo! A separte prom would have been unthinkable. Half of my friends would have not been there with me! Something like this is news to me indeed. Someone said that maybe the division was based on music tastes, if that is true, then could I go to the "white" prom if I wanted to dance to N'Sync and Britney Spears? Could my white friends attend the "black" prom if they wanted to dance to JayZ? If this is the case then I couldn't call it a racially divided prom. I still don't know the details of this story, just what I have read on here. It doesn't sound like a music division to me. Every semester all of the Greeks on my campus have a callaborative "Greek Party" and we spend a bit of time on techno, hip hop, salsa, etc. We cover it all. When I go to clubs I bounce from the hip hop, techno, 80's, 90's rooms all in no time. There is enough time in a prom to cover it all and make it sound good. I doubt it was a music issue. If it was that simple I would be surprised that it was taken this far.
