It is not "their" Greek Village. We are not interlopers! We have to change our way of thinking! Maybe our presence is just an aspect of the next phase of "desegregation"--transgressing the de facto spaces where some white folks think they can maintain the Old South. If some want to do this, they'll have to do it on their own private property, not quasi-state property. The Greek Village is ours too! President Sorenson had the right idea. We poneyed up the money and are building a nice house like the rest of the groups. They'll just have to get used to the bruhs!

Bruh. I agree w/everything you stated in your post.....except the part that we have to change our way of thinking. The black students @ USC welcomed the Omega house (well maybe not the alphas that's an inside joke.)
the problems seem to be w/some white students. Have you ever notice that blacks @ HBCUs never react in this manner towards mostly white orgs on campus.
