Unhappy Less men...

Moreover, I think BGL fraternities have to give off "image" to entice interests to want to become a part of their organizations... Even WGL fraternities do it, too--IMHO...

The hardcore, step-show, Drumline kinna player thuggish set for the bruhs...

Whereas, the party-on dude, beer guzzling--and the TWINS--for the others...

ALTHOUGH most of the Greek Community KNOWS that for the most part the fraternities are not like that entirely... But it makes it difficult for outsiders to see anything else when there's movies out there, like "Old School" setting up fraternities as a prank... Or "Animal House"... Or "School Daze" for that matter...

Forget the fact that Dr. MLK was an Alpha Man, Jesse Jackson is an Omega Man, Johnny Cochrane is a Kappa man, Huey Newton was a Sigma Man and Morris Chestnut is an Iota Man...

What makes it worse it the if a bruh doesn't attend school for atheletics, then what is he there for--attitude among students, faculty and staff... So there's this whole lack of motivation fostered in these poor kids that come from difficult parts to begin with...

Hell, when I was working in at SDSU, I was ALWAYS telling folks from the 'hood that it was SOMEBODY'S J-O-B to help your kid stay off of Academic Probation in the Student Services building... Like they give extra time to learning disabled students to take tests and the way things are now, SOME folks are quick to label a brutha--mayaswell, take advantage of THAT situation...

But, that's my opinion in my parts...
