Just out of curiosity, DZ is having a Toga Party mixer with Pi Kappa Phi in a couple of weeks. Do you think we'll offend anybody with that one?
</joke, albeit a bad one>

You keep sayin it's only these two groups of organization holding these, which is prolly true, and maybe it's wrong, but the fraternity that held this party is extremely diverse (white, black, asian, puerto rican, arab, jewish, etc) and many of these members participated in this. I'm in no way sounding bitchy but I'm curious what your opinion of this is?

I still think it is bad. All of the participants are still making fun of a certain economic status. And I think that this may be part of the reason for such a negative attitude about greek life on many campuses. I've read posts on here from greeks at schools where the top campus administrators are doing what they can to remove greek life from campus. Maybe this is why. Schools want all students to feel welcome and comfortable. If you have groups of orgs that seem to consistently have parties where they consider a lower economic status a joke, then that does not represent the campus well. Poor representation of a campus may mean that bright-eyed high school seniors are less likely to consider going to that school. Education is a big business and schools don't want to hurt their chances of getting as much money as they can. The more students you have (or can hold) the more money the school gets from local, state and federal governments and tuition.


Just think, if you came from a financially struggling family that was considered 'White Trash' when you were growing up and now you are lucky enough to afford college by having a dozen part-time jobs and while at college you saw all these greeks at a 'White Trash' party, how would you feel about greeks? How would you feel about a school that supports this type of behaivor?

ROTFLMAO!

Ok, sorry, I just had a mental image of about 40 DZ's walking across the parking lot in the middle of a monsoon with nothing on but a sheet and high heels. I'm sure someone would definitely be offended...and I can't say that I'd blame them, LOL! (Yes, I have kind of a weird sense of humor.)

Jeeze H Christ!

Hell, we are all minoritys some where in this world!

Hell, talk about a Minority, White Male, single, mature to ripe, and own a small business! Socio-economically deprived well, I guess so since I make $50.00 a week being an entrap-a-manure.

Does anyone read History or know anything about it? Does anyone watch or read about the News?

I am white, ergo, I hate all blacks or asians!

I am Anglo, I hate Greeks, Italians, Germans etal! Did not say French, I just ignor them!

When you get your ethnaticy out of your system and find out that you prove you self to all or any people, then you find your true worth!

I am sure Yolanda, Lativa, Kitso or who ever found me Racist was Right. I hate everybody! It seems the most who get upset, promote racism harder. Damn, I wish I could get Brother Rodney on this site! He hates stupidity no matter what Race, he deals with Kids, Bad Kids! The ones who may be leading our Country!

but that would probably come of as a bit preachy or superior. Oh well.

And we wonder why non-Greeks don't take Greeks seriously when we talk about Greek-life being more than parties and having a good time.
and i'm sure that 24-7 you are a perfect example of your fraterinity's or whatever the hell PMA simfonia is, ideals?

I know the Creed of Sigma Nu, and you know what, there are days i live it to a T, and there are days i don't. But in my eyes, as long as i'm striving to live it the MAJORITY of my days, i'll be alright.

Every message you have posted on this topic has screamed certain things about you and your character. I don't think I have to spell it out for you. The only thing I know about you is the way you have presented yourself on this board. FYI, It's not pretty. I'm gonna let this go because I can only explain things so many times.

my apologies. you are right and i am wrong. i am an evil and bad person who always causes so much trouble on GC. i don't know how i haven't gotten kicked off yet. everything i do in my life is awful and mean to all people. i'm sorry it has taken so many posts for you to get this fact through my thick skull. i keep forgetting how well you know me. i am so sorry that i had an opinion that i expressed which didn't seem to comply with your all-worldly one.

i'm over it. (this whole thing has been too damn funny to me! you people take this message board too freaking seriously! like every word that everyone says is just so well thought out and perfect and completely encompasses the person as a whole.) geez.

back to the topic at hand...duke...

OK, I'm not even going to go back and read the posts I missed because I'm pretty sure I'll just get angry and start this whole thing back up again, sooo . . .


I think the point of this thread was lost long ago. That being, regardless of your personal feelings on this topic, Greeks CANNOT continue to throw parties like this. How does it look for the Greek system when we decide that our desire to throw parties with whatever theme we want is more important than the fact that people are being hurt? How hard is it to just avoid parties with themes like this?

How does it look for the Greek system when even our fellow Greeks think we're being racist -- and we tell them that we don't care?

I have been downright embarassed, as a Greek, to read some of the stuff in this thread. I don't think some of y'all realize how horrible this looks for the system as a whole. And I don't want to be associated with it.

AMEN.
Let's not act like b/c we're PC, we're always appropriate in other areas of life as well. I'm sorry, but there have been a few people in this thread, who, while they may pride themselves on being racially sensitive, have treated other people in this discussion like shit. Just b/c you ace one area of life (being sensitive to other groups) doesn't mean you're winning the manners race.

And, I have always hated the face, but the excessive use of it in this thread is making me throw up. You want proof of how snotty BOTH sides have behaved??? Look for the eye rolls. Learn how to express your sentiments without being catty and grow up. (That's directed towards everyone, and no one in particular.)
