Good point, but the point of interest is still finding out how they are doing.
I hope this origninal poster finds out and let all of us know.

There have a grip of Pikes at HU. Me knowing a couple of the men affliated with the colony, I know it's not going to fail.

I'm a Pike and I asked a friend at Headquarters about the Howard colony. National is very pleased; I was told the colony has about 60 men and they are rushing in the manner of our chapters rather than through intake like the HBGLOs do.
I was against us going to Howard because of the perception of us interfering with someone else's established culture. I wanted a chapter that is identifiably one of ours, and not an IFC fraternity trying to imitate a HBGLO. From what I've heard, it sounds to me like we're on the right track.
There was a remark earlier about white guys. I'm told very few whites attend Howard so I assume that our colony is composed mostly if not entirely of black men.

Our colony is actually 100% black. Brobuzz, u got jokes, kudos buzz. Interestingly enough we've gone international with it. Lots of us have graduated, but we are recruiting and still constitute a growing group of intelligent young brothers on campus. We're pushing for a charter soon. Wish us luck.

May I ask a serious question that I have wondered since the news of this colony has been widespread? On a campus such as Howard that is so rich in the history of BGLOs, why do you feel it necessary to bring a predom Caucasian organization? What made Pikes appeal to you on a level that NONE of the HBGLOs at a HBCU could?

As a follow up to this question, I will just say that from the outset, I was surprised that Pike in particular was chosen. Knowing how much Howard students love to "do their research" I would have assumed that a fraternity with more "non-sectarian" roots may have been chosen, such as Pi Lambda Phi.

TKE might have been a good choice as well, being that they were the first fraternity with a non-discrimination clause.
