I know several guys in Omega Psi Phi among other black fraternities (mostly A Phi A otherwise), but we would never hang out on the weekends because we don't have any commonalities. Perhaps they are there....but the superficial things which get people to be friends aren't there.
Just because we have Greek letters does not mean we need to hang out with ANY other group but our own. I joined my house, not a Greek system.

You know several guys in Omega Psi Phi and A Phi A, BUT you don't know all of the men in those organizations nor do you know all of the men that fit [insert whichever race you choose here]. Maybe you don't have anything in common with them. Maybe you didn't take the time to find out. But what they do/like/etc. as an individual does not mean EVERYONE in their organization does/likes/etc. the same things/the same way. However you felt qualified/justified in describing an entire subset of men based on the few that you may actually "know".
And you did join a system. If you didn't you wouldn't be posting on greekchat but would be posting on a message board exclusively for your organization/chapter.
