I feel it is a spit in the face of yoru founders (many of whom came form HU by the way) the way some of your memebership disses the non D9 on this campus...do you have to criticize others in order to make yourself look good? That's the impression I get from the actives at this school...well, at least the actives who were here the past few years.
I would think you would rather they go and charter a frat they feel they would belong to rather than to pledge your orgs and be a do nothing memebr......
That's just my 2 cents....I could go on longer...but I know my words will probably fall on deaf ears...

First, no one has any right to disrespect anyone, greek or not. Now here comes the big BUT............
I do understand the animosity towards non-D9s using hand sign / calls / line names and numbers. (I'm not saying it is right, I'm just saying I understand.) Presumably (?sp), these traditions started within the D9 (exactly which D9 did what first is always up for debate a la' which D9 frat stepped with canes first, KAY or PBS....), so to have the hand signs / line names and numbers usurped by non-D9s feels like the non-D9s are stealing our (D9) tradtions. The thought is like 'Hey, if you wanted to do hand signs, line names / numbers and do calls, why didn't you join a D9?' AFAIK, these D9 'traditions' are common and consistent among all D9 chapters (at HBCUs, PWIs, grad and undergrad chapters), unlike GSS or TBS, where at a PWI, they may not do the hand signs / line names and numbers and etc. just because it is not common among Whites. (Again, not to offend, just trying to offer a perspective on the situation)
