Re: Why are there no black members in Phi Kappa Psi? Another view

Quote:
Family members also seemed relieved when Alexander decided not to remain in Phi Psi, he said. When he first told them about the bid, relatives started saying, "You don't have to join my fraternity, but at least join a black frat instead of a white frat," or even, "Join a black fraternity or nothing at all."
This really disturbs me. It's the same as my mother's threatening to stop paying my tuition if I were to join an NPHC or multicultural sorority. If my family said, "Join a white sorority or nothing at all," that would just be over the top and there would be so much criticism from all sides. It's a shame that these double standards persist.
