Post AND WHO SAID RACIAL IGNORANCE WAS DEAD!

What's up to my fellow brothers and sisters in Greekdom. What's up to the Divine Nine.

Anyway, I was on the web checking out schools that offer a particular grad school program I was interested in. Well, one of those schools happened to be the University of Colorado-Boulder. In checking the school out, I wanted to see what their Greek life was all about. I followed the links until I came upon the website for their Greek life office. All of the IFC orgs. were under a link called Interfraternity Council. Which its properly named. The sorority links were under the Panhellenic Council. However when they got to org that were historically of african american nature, the heading was HISTORICALLY ETHNIC GROUPS. First of all, the last time I checked NPHC orgs were recognized as fraternities and sororities. WHICH WE ARE. I guess you can try to rationalize this and say that Colorado is a predominately white state statistical wise. However, there is NO EXCUSE for them to first of all make a mockery of our greek system. Then you ask yourself why don't they just have NPHC. They also had Sigma Lambda Beta under that heading also. The only NPHC org I saw that they had was AKA.

Sorry, it just startled me when I saw that. You should check it out and see what I'm talking about. The URL is www.colorado.edu/sacs/greek/. I'm also asking myself why aren't the "HISTORICALLY ETHNIC GROUPS" saying something about how they get labeled by the Office ofGreek Life on that campus. Greek Love
