Non IFC and PHC

[DeltaSigStan]

Hi guys, this is my first post, so apologies in advance if a topic like this has been posted before.

Greek Week was last week, and although it was awesome, it had me wondering about all those USFC (Our Ethnic Greek Council) Fraternities and Sororites. I was wondering about how important they are to us at IFC and PHC.

I asked a member of another Fraternity in IFC, and he said "Aside from Greek Week, we don't care about those guys. They're not real Greeks to us because they don't have houses, plus when you cater to one race or culture, you lose the basis of what being a greek is about."

I was just wondering how much those ethnic greeks (Lambda Phi Epsilon (Asian), Gamma Zeta Alpha (Hispanic) participate with IFC and PHC organizations. For instance, none of the Panhellanic Sororities ever have socials and exchanges with the Asian Frat.

Before one of my bros joined Delta Sig, he rushed an Asian Frat (theyre local), and he left because he said he didn't fit in well with them. All they did was race Hondas and rave, which he wasn''t into. He felt much better and felt a lot more at home with us at Delta Sig, and we're glad to have him.

This frat he pledged has gotten somewhat bigger, and they claim that they're making progress on campus, yet when i talked to a guy in Sigma Chi, he said "They like to think that, but they'll never be like us."

I just wanted to compare what goes on with this at our school with some of the other schools out there, plus what the general attitude is from IFC and Panhellenic regarding ethinic and multicultural fraternities.

I'd guess here in San Diego is different, because we have MANY of these type of Greeks, a lot of it is due to the big diversity we have in San Diego

Thanks.
