Auburn, et al. closings
As a former educator with a PhD and forty years of fraternity experience, I do take umbrage with the gutless administrators who do not punish the (mostly black) fraternities who parade their pledges around in the open (most do not have houses)
wearing dog collars, hob-nailed boots, branded and doing stupid antics for all to see. And the bleeding hearts, mostly of
the psychology and social science departments, say nary a thing, and hating the so-called white fraternities, are eager to throw us off the campus. These fluid-like minority clubs have no houses, do not belong to IFC, account to no one, and they go
on their merry way. It is not PC to say this, but it is really talking out of both sides of the mouth and it is an insult to the many black and other minority members in NIC fraternities. I have watched, with growing resentment, the drifiting away of these fraternities--black, latino, asian, etc. as I thought we'd leveled the
playing field...now we are growing apart! There are a goodly
number of, say, blacks--in the chapters today and they have ever
been welcome in Beta, Teke, DU, AKL, others...since day one!
While we have yet to install a urinal in the Kappa Kappa Gamma house, that is another issue...by the way...you oughta
see a composite of the houses who've gone co-ed...you talk about fruitcakes and nerds...that tells it all!
Anyway, SHAME! Many of us worked hard in the '50s to expunge
the white christian male clauses. Did we toil in vain? I hope not. As a field rep for TKE 'way back then, I took great pride in not having to ask a kid during rush if he was Jewish or of a not
acceptable (to some) lot...if we liked him, we bid him...simple.
And we continue to let the gutless wonders, mostly anti-greek,
invervene, deny our rights and punish us....We have ourselves to blame in most cases. We simply implode. Does your chapter have an active advisor? Does he go to the parties? Does he attend meetings? If not, you are a loose cannon, and
get ready to move as you chapter will NOT survive. Get smart, work together, hug your felow Greeks, black and white. We all
aspire to greater things, don't we? An old TKE alum from Denver, Erik P Conard, Emporia '60
