Hmmm... do you remember that "famous" NU daily article written awhile back?
Mocking Diversity's Promise
(and everyone else should take a look at this too.. it's.. interesting)
"The lead article in The Daily's final issue of fall 2006 focused on declining black enrollment since the 1970s. Apparently NU is in some sort of crisis - there aren't enough blacks here. For now, this isn't our crisis. Our crisis is that blacks and other minorities do not spend enough time in any context with other races (and vice versa). Increasing the enrollment ratio of any race will not increase the interaction between different races and backgrounds.
If NU were to eliminate social groups that construct themselves on race or a "cultural history," it would be the first step to resolving this crisis."
This article was written by a member of an IFC fraternity, basically calling for NPHC and MGC greeks to disappear, and from what I remember he wasn't the only one that held this opinion. Besides one guy from his fraternity that joined "our" cause in protest, most of the guys in his house totally agreed with him.
The NPHC and MGC greeks held a unity rally to protest, and apparently the guys in that house called our rally "bullshit" (this is a direct quote from the fraternity member who sided with us and overheard it). Other IFC greeks seemed to hold similar feelings about us. Of course, that is just from what I hear... but still, I'm pretty sure there's some truth to that. At end of our rally we held an event at Norris where everyone could discuss the issue and make speeches etc..., and some ignorant ****
dressed in a bunny costume ran by trying to distract us and mock us.
It's kind of hard for us to want to work toward unity with mainstream Greeks when it seems like they really don't like us
