pink bunny/ Black/White Greek Organizations
I tried to send you a message but I guess you have your e-mail blocked off. Soror I wanted to give you mad props for how you represented on that Black/White discussion on the greek chat board.
Some of those "ignorant" posts made me so mad. I don't know how you kept your cool. I responded to a similar issue on the greek chat on the African-American home page about
whites being in Black organizations.
I agreed with everything you said. As a Black women I don't see how any Black women would be comfortable joining a non-Black organization unless you're bi-racial or were raised in a predominantly white environment. Even then I would still question it.
But to each his own. There was this biracial girl at my school who wanted to be an AKA. But she made some very stupid comments like She told my Dean that she didn't want to be pledged by her sands because they were younger than her. To top it off at a party she was hanging with some sorors and another soror asked her was she an AKA and she had the nerve to say "Not yet". Well of course that killed her chances. Anyway she joined a white sorority after it.
She did have it hard because her mother wanted her to reject her black heritage. She told her she wouldn't come to her graduation if she wore a kente cloth with her robe.
Oh wait I have another story. My undergrad was predominately Asian and there were Asian fraternities and they were in the yearbook talking about they were stepping champs. Me and my sands were hot about that and that was even before we were Greeks. We were just hot at that just being Black. What business do they have stepping?
One more story. An Asian sorority called my big sister and asked her could she come teach her some traditions about pledging. My soror told her as politely as she could our pledging process was tradition and tied to our culture and she would NOT be sharing anything with her.
It just trips me out how now that whites want to let us in their organization, they all of a sudden want us to be banging on their door. We've created our own. Deal with it!!
