That's almost as bad as saying "I have black friends" which at that point renders anything else coming out as moot.
You may have joined your house but once you did that, technically you joined the system...at that point...we all got a commonality...if you don't feel like you have a commonality then why are you even on this board?

This is true but when we do it, we get blamed for not being "diverse" enough. Go figure.

Is EW's brain still telling him that we're saying that all Greeks have to be friends and have to mingle on their free time?

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.

Because we're separatists who are on this ridiculous race power kick. We don't want to relate to others because we're busy endorsing the breakdown of traditional family structures and listening to gangsta rap. All while fighting to get the Black Power flag officially recognized on every state capitol.

Actually, Mumia Abu-Jamal is.
You really hadn't made much sense yet, troll.

I think that is the point we are all trying to tell you EW.
You just don't get it yet.
Some advice:
If you find yourself in a hole....stop digging.
