And I'm wondering why he has to justify his fraternity choice to you or to anyone else?
If there was one fraternity that fit every person, there wouldn't be 26 NPC sororities and Jeebus knows how many NIC fraternities. Hell, there wouldn't be four NPHC sororities and 5 NPHC fraternities. Everyone bases their fraternity choice on discriminating factors, and whatever those factors were -- be it the involvement, intelligence, or perceived thuggery of the members -- they're no one else's business.
I'm curious to know -- would you ask a brother who chose Harvard over Morehouse to justify his decision?
And one more thing - I should hope that no college educated Black man is looking for a fraternity to help build him up into what he thinks a man should be. I should hope that any Black man leads a far more diversified college experience, balanced out with academic activities, volunteering, spiritual and personal growth and would seek out additional avenues to help him grow into a well-rounded person.
For the record - I agree with some of the things you say, particularly regarding the inequalities that exist within the two systems. Raging against the machine is a good start, but without offering any suggestions on how the disparities might be overcome, it's just sound and fury.
