I am black, and in a historically white fraternity. My dad was in a HBGLO, and I was groomed to be in that org from early childhood.
When I chose my college, I went to a school where the IFC fraternities were larger, and offered more opportunity.

Luckily my parents gave me enough freedom to make my own way, and not be petty if I didn't choose to go to a historically black college, or join a historically black org.

Its good that my father sees now that the fraternity I chose has ultimately made me the well-rounded individual I am today, and that I may have chosen a different set of letters, but the purpose of my fraternity is still the same.
TRUTH

Thank you for the post.
