Hello sisterfriends,
I hope you guys don't mind me stopping by. I attended a VERY small HBCU in the south(less than 500 students, with no football team either) and consequently Greek life was very prominent. The largest organizations on campus were the greeks, and everyone(whether they admitted it or not) aspired to be a member of one. The only problem was, you had to have a 2.5 GPA to join, so there were a number of people who did not qualify for membership. These people worked incredibly hard just to get that minimum GPA to be able to pledge!!!! I think that at most HBCU's, greek life is more important because it is one of our longest standing institutions in the black community, and anything created by us usually is more important when we are in a majority environment, such as at HBCU's.
