Be that friend upon whom your brother and sister greeks can rely. Live your rituals. Help your fellow greeks grow through mutual education and actions.
All people can learn, and their teachers don't need to quit on them to make their points.

Many of those bailing are doing so because the leaders of their orgs are either not listening or not letting the collegiates know they are being heard. Why pay thousands of dollars to be ignored or silenced?
Bottom line is my sister pledged and then dropped in ‘83 because she saw racism, my university had 1 black IFC member at that time, and when one of my chapter sisters dated his roommate (also black) it was a scandal. It’s almost FORTY YEARS later and we’re still having this conversation. That right there says things haven’t progressed as they should have.
