Beta Psi (WVU) just finished up with recruitment and had the Pledge Ceremony.
They handed out 27 bids and ended with 24 guys, 2 deferments. I went to the first meeting to check them out and see what I though, and I was impressed. Pretty diverse group. Engineers, Pharms., Biology, etc. 2 black guys, 2 Koreans, and kids from all over the US.

Not to be picky but why even mention race? We do not need to keep this type of information. I would have left it at diverse group and the majors. I am guessing the blacks guys would have easily fit into "kids from all over the US" group.
This is of course unless I am missing some Beta first: first Korean to ever pledge, first Sudanese to ever pledge or African prince pledges Beta.
Just one brothers opinion.

I agree it nice to have a good cross section or varied representation.
I just thoughth it was not needed to be identified. There are too many lawyers and judges that would use that particular posting to represent Beta Theta Pi as a whole and cost us money in defending ourselves needlessly.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't WVa coming down to Pirate country tomorrow for an ESPN-2 game?! GOOD TIMES!
Epsilon Alpha (East Carolina Univ) just finished formal IFC Rush last night @ Midnight. We got 4 guys through that. We expect more throughout the next week or so of informal recruitment.

Oldest Pledge,
If I made some remarks how I was pissed off that my chapter was allowing that to happen, then that would be bad. I'm happy that we have some diversity because often times non-white students (at least on my campus) never even consider joining a fraternity.
ECUJacob,
I'm hoping to make it to that game if possible. I'm in VA right now with the Army and I don't think it would be that far of a drive for me to go.

Coramoor,
If you (or your brothers) need a place to tailgate, party, sleep, etc, please feel free to let us know and we'll glad to help you. We're always willing to hang out with other chapters!

OK. I am cool with this. I am happy that there is diversity as well. I grew up as the minority up to 7th grade (basically an 80/20 split in school) so I am sensitive to all the labling issues. I prefer to be called Euro-American rather than white (I am a pale tan, thank you).
