This underlying sentiment of white privilege and bigotry has to be challenged. The sub rosa "hate speech" about our house at the USC Greek Village by some white fraternity members flies in the face of the fact that the fraternity/sorority row is on university property, on the flagship state university in a state where black people pay taxes to support state-sponsored higher education just like all other people. It is not "their" Greek Village. We are not interlopers! We have to change our way of thinking! Maybe our presence is just an aspect of the next phase of "desegregation"--transgressing the de facto spaces where some white folks think they can maintain the Old South. If some want to do this, they'll have to do it on their own private property, not quasi-state property. The Greek Village is ours too! President Sorenson had the right idea. We poneyed up the money and are building a nice house like the rest of the groups. They'll just have to get used to the bruhs!
