I think the founders would have been proud to see the growth and work done by the brotherhood. I only have one concern though.

Before I proceed I'd like to say I'm not racist and I don't mean to cause trouble. I just want to point out something.

The founding fathers of my fraternity was all white. I am Filipino-American. Honestly I don't know how the founding fathers would react to having a non-white person in the brotherhood. The fraternity was started in 1919 meaning it was waaaaaaay back before the civil rights movement. If we had the ability to time travel back to the Alpha chapter how would they react if I wore the letters and did the secret handshake? I honestly wonder. It's one thing to write down ideals but what was in their minds?

The same goes for the founding fathers of our country. Did they think that later on as this country grew that our interpretation of All Men Created Equal would be different than their interpretation?

I wonder..............
