... there is no such thing as "Georgia Tech University"!!!

Sorry, I had to express that. No one can ever seem to get the name of my school right, and it's not that hard (I mean, "Georgia Institute of Technology" sounds so much nicer, really).

So yeah, to actually say something on topic ... yeah, some of our Pikes are insensitive jerks (not all of them ... but some have been known to, for example, chase and throw things at gay couples, etc.). But one of the interesting things about the "NIC" fraternities is that they can be completely one way on one campus and pretty much completely different on another. So I really hope that students at Howard won't just judge PiKA in general from our idiot students and their stupid party

Oh, and not all historically white fraternities and sororities have had "whites only" clauses. I know that my fiance's fraternity, Phi Kappa Sigma, has never had one. This is from their international website:

Public Mottos

"Brotherhood is more than skin deep."

In 1858, a proposal was introduced to the Fraternity that would have made Phi Kappa Sigma an all-white organization. The proposal was unanimously voted against, therefore making the Fraternity the first to be anti-discriminatory. Our Brothers choose men to become members based on the worth of their character, not superficialities like race, religion, or wealth.

(This is may have something to do with why they are one of the smaller and less popular fraternities in the country, but y'know, that's how it goes ...)

I have a good friend from home that is a Pike from Georgia Tech
