It just seems creepy; a lot of hate groups have changed their marketing and recruitment strategies to try to attract a more educated and "mainstream"-type audience using things like music, sophisticated websites, and spokesmen who dress nicely and are somehow supposed to be more respectable. Some of the websites that my group reviewed were really slick sites.

Resistance Records sells its highest numbers in the 15 to 30 year old male market; there are reasons that hate groups would think they may have success with fraternities. (If anyone wants to check out the article, there are certain fraternities they are targetting more than others, but I don't want to get into that here.) I mean, it is the kind of population they are looking for - wealthy, upperclass, educated, and white. And fraternities and sororities have traditionally a pretty racially divided group, in some areas and with some orgs more than others. There is a history there.
