But I can say that I'm not racist. I never had a problem with anyone of any race joining my sorority, but it is disheartening to see others' reactions, even 2 and a half years later. That's why changes must slowly be made so that the South eventually will be like any other place in the country.

You can say that you're not racist, but you are. Really. Why should the changes be slow? Are you waiting to rise again or something? Either way, it's perplexing to see how backasswards people can be. That's why you lost the war. I'll ease up, eventually. Okay, I have to get back to class. Any other trolls need feeding?

Rudey, I have not idea what kind of Tea this is, but this is one of the most inane threads I have read lately!

Everyone is going to be racist in some form or another. Dont BS anyone and say Your not!

If anyone says so, then basically they are not telling the truth!

Some of Us try to be better about it than others. If the others have their thoughts, no one will change them! Easy and simple!

Sounds like someone needs to re-read The Tale of Peter Rabbit.

I'm saying it has to be slow, because that's how most good, permanent changes are made. You ease into it. My chapter did our part, we felt we did what was good and right. But it made national news. It was a nightmare for us, because we're just a bunch of 18 to 21-year-old girls pledging a black girl, big whoop. At least that's how it was to me. But it was a big deal to a lot of people outside of my chapter. We had CNN on our lawn. Dealing with the aftermath was the hard part.

I'm not saying that changes aren't happening -- they are. There are more multicultural GLOs popping up all over the South, and more and more NPC and NIC chapters are integrating, and I think that's what needs to happen. But you simply can't force it, is all I'm trying to say.

I deeply resent anyone calling me racist. And Tom Earp is right -- everyone, absolutely everyone on this planet, stereotypes.

I'm saying that the popular rap and R&B music of today glorifies a ghetto culture, but black does not equal ghetto.

It sounds like you're saying, "Well, we have our organizations and they have theirs, so let's all be happy with that."

What I'm saying is that the opportunity to even be able to stereotype/discriminate on the basis of race is hardly ever presented in the South. I'm sure that if more minorities were going through NPC/NIC Rush, more integration would happen. But there's just very few doing it in the first place, and the core of that issue is: are they happy in NPHC or multicultural orgs or are they too scared to even try? I don't know.

As was mentioned earlier in the thread, fraternities and sororities in the south display and showcase the tops of Southern society, people who have been at the top for quite some time. Way before the abolishment of slavery. Old money. That's what fraternities and sororities are in the south. For the most part, have you ever met an African-American that was old money? That is to say, rich before the 1900's? Have their parents been involved in southern white fraternities since then? I would assume they had not. This is what they lack to get into southern fraternities. It is not a question of integration, it is a question of status.

So in other words if Scarlett Johannson or Bill Gates' daughter was going through rush she wouldn't get a bid either? Because they have new money and new money is poo tinkey?

Muah right back to ya. I'm not sure if coming back on GC was good or bad. Probably both.

And for the record, I don't think I could have an orgasm in my cubicle.

They'd get a bid, just not to Old Row, lol. What a bunch of hoo hockey.

From what I can tell, most black people here are involved in some way with popular black culture. I don't know that much about the group, because it is pretty segregated here. I have some friends from class and I know some guys on the football team, and while I like them, they wouldn't fit in our fraternity, and if I honestly asked them to rush, they'd probably laugh hysterically. That is common everywhere in the south. I've always had black friends, but its always been pretty segregated by choice on both sides it seems. Its not like I have black friends being like "hey man, let me come to your party," and I'm having to tell them no. Is it that difficult for people on this board to understand that they're probably not interested in 80's rock, Johnny Cash, hunting and fishing, and The Masters?

Well, what if an 18-year-old Tiger Woods walked in and said he wanted to pledge? What if a young black man whose parents are the Cosbys walks in and wants to pledge? What then? That's what my sorority was faced with in a way, and I think we made the right choice.

Do you shampoo your hair with herbal essence?

Rudey wants you to post a picture

No, it isn't. I'm as white as it gets and I'm not interested in any of those things and am morally opposed to at least three of them. However, I don't think that's the point.
