I don't think whoever posted that has a right to have a problem, but I'm half white and half african american, but I do have best frends who also appen to be brothers in Alpha who are, in fact, white brothers.

Shit, in D.C alone last weekend, I met and saw so many "white" brothers that it was crazy. I loved every minute of it. Knowing that our rich history had been intergrated since 1945, and since the first white brother was made right here in Chicago, they've been there in ever since....

Thats cool, but I don't think I could do it. I don't understand how it works for those white guys, but if they like it, it works for them.

I mean, it all about how comfortable you are.
A brotherhood is all about trust, and having trust in your ships/sandz/line brothers
A lot of white brothers joined because they said, and I quote, "predominantly white fraternities are not doing anything for the community"

Those are words from a white brothers mouth, and it actually made me think about this conversation we've been having on this forum.

And it all comes down to this, every campus is completely different. On your campus, APhiA might not be so proactive. On my campus, we have older brothers like Danny Davis Jr come out and support our events, we visit the capitol, not only to celebrate being the oldest BGLO but to lobby for things we find meaningful. On your campus, they might be the gun toting ignorant ass people that take "being greek" WAYY to seriously.

While, for your fraternity, on your campus, they might be extremely proactive, and on my campus, they might just drink and try to fick drunk girls....

You see what I'm trying to say?

Kinda yeah. My reason for not joining a black fraternity is not because of how they are here, I just don't know that I'd really feel comfortable with a group so different from me. But if those guys probably have a lot in common with their brothers, so its completely normal for them.

Just seems like guys trying to be something they are not, I bet they try to speak and dress like black people too. We have a name for guys like that...

If I went in trying to join my org putting on some kind of a show, trying to put on some kind of act of stereotypical-black-wannabe or whatever, I can assure you I wouldn't have made it on line

In my chapter, we all may have our faults, but one thing I can guarantee is that we are all some *genuine* women. Every Delta I've ever met is - which is one of the reasons I was drawn to the sorority, the members really impressed me with those kinds of qualities. The only blanket statements you could make about the BGLO members (of all orgs) that I have met are that we are all smart, hard-working people who have a lot of pride in our orgs. We definitely do not all talk, dress, or otherwise act the same, just as members of NPC/IFC orgs do not.

That all depends on what speaking and dressing "like black people" means to you and to those people.

I hope these genltemen are not trying not to be determine, elite, historical I hope that that is what they are being for being apart of ALPHA PHI ALPHA would mean that you carry this qualities
But I would like to know what is talking white I mean{ is that when they say like in between all your statements or when they as comments with AS IF? Or when some speak on the acceptance of people (poor people for the people in New Orleans where poor not just black being in acceptable living conditions in a FOOTBALL FIELD !!!!
