I don't think Howard students in general are of the same potential as Harvard students. I didn't think my school's students were of the same potential either.
I just had an issue with saying they were the best of the best and thus better than other schools, or, in other words, other schools were worse.
I encourage peace, love, and understanding on Greekchat.com.

--- No you don't encourage "peace, love and understanding". It was stated and re-stated several times that nobody was intending to say that Howard was the best school in this nation or even better than any other schools. CarolinaCutie and others clarified their statements by explaining that they meant the best and the brightest students on Howard's campus were the ones who would be accepted into BGLOs. (And we all know that you realized this when you chose to post in the 1st place) Yet you have purposely and maliciously driven this thread to where it is now. You chose to misconstrue the spirit and the meanings behind other's comments so that you could make a point to bash an HBCU and create controversy in this thread. As was said earlier, I highly doubt that you would have even questioned the "Best of the Best" statement if it were in reference to a non-HBCU. Well you can attempt to bash Howard if you want to, but the fact is that there are excellent students at Howard. The students there are "over-achievers" and most work very hard. I would happily argue that many of the students there work harder and apply themselves more than the avg. kid at a PWI. If you have a problem with this school then come right out and say it. Otherwise you need to move on, b/c your earlier point has already been made and acknowledged, and now your argument has run out of steam.
