cultural divide

Hello,

I crossed Alpha Phi Omega in the Spring of 2010, so yes i'm fairly new. I wanted to ask ALL of my brothers in the name of Alpha Phi Omega (that includes vikes) for some suggestions.

I know this is not a racial thing, however I crossed at a co-ed but mostly white chapter. I respect the fact that we are a service fraternity and shouldn't be focusing on the social aspect but I don't feel as though we are expanding in the right way. We keep crossing more and more students but I don't think our chapter, let alone the fraternity as a whole is as cohesive as it should be. In the past couple of years we have expanded gaining more and more African Americans within our chapter which makes it kind of hard for all of us to actually come together.


I feel there is a cultural divide and i hate it. The black ppl usual lean more to doing social things and the whites usually don't except for a few. I will be assistant pledge master next semester and I want to help work on bringing the new recruits as a family and not just as individuals.

Are there any suggestions on how we can come together as a chapter, to be more of a family and not just a bunch of random people thrown together with the same letters.

thank you for your help, and please leave all negative comments to yourself

its all about the
LEADERSHIP
FRIENDSHIP
SERVICE
