Hey i think people are taking my comment to another place, i never said that these chapters are hard core but they take the frat seriously, and i been to all those chapters i know what im talking about( no saying she going to get hazed or beat up, please dont take the comments to that extreme but you would not become a brother with that type of attitude, ive seem people no become brothers at certain chapters for less) And its not about a division of black and white schools but greek life in the black community is different than the white community.
Nothing that i said was towards you , and also wasnt towards her really its just mostly general observations of that frat.
Who cares, see thats the attitude that in my opinion shouldnt be in the frat, just because you dont go there you shouldnt care, thats like saying just cause your not from the south you shouldnt care about slavery. as a black person in apo you should want to learn about our history in the frat, this is in no way excluding our white brothers, apo is just like america, just cause you are pro-black doesnt make you anti-white ( think about it) and after thatyou should learn about the asian side of apo, spanish side etc... but learnig about your own people in anything you do is a great thing. It gives you more pride, due to popular believe apo is a Mulitcultural org all races have comtribute to our greatness and all cultures should be celebrated, but unfortunetly in the black culture apo is seemed as a "white' frat. so we need to educate ourselves and others about the frat.
There was a time where i only forcused on the black side of the frat untill i learned that all cultures contributed to out frat. Even with that said i still love the black culture in APO. And will always be proud to be black in APO. We did alot of first:
-The first Predominately White org to intergrate
Detla Phi 1947
-First org on campuses to have a handsign ( handsigns didnt come into play until the 60 with the black greeks
-Most chapters at a black universities in the 60-80. ( i may be wrong about that but thats what the research is saying now).
-More PAN_HELL members that KKY, TBS, etc... only one to rival us is the masons.
Alot of universites they pledged APO first before they did a black greek which is still the same till this day. Alot of ou black members are part of PAN_HELL orgs and still active in APO
I know brother rashid can talk alot more about this than i can at the current moment being he taught me alot
So i hope you understand whereim coming from with my black chapters comments. Sometime when people see someone who is pro-black that they there anti-white which isnt the case, i would have never peldge apo or sigma ( being that we have alot of white members) if i was anti-white.
