BGLOs on my campus are never around. They don't participate in Greek Week, dont party wiht us. Until recently I didn't even know there were black fraternities and sororities on campus. I am not PREJUDICE. I just want to make that clear. I'm just asking a simple question....why segregate urselves even more that u say u are?

I happen to be black in an almost all white fraternity and I can tell you many schools have all white fraternities, and I know a couple of TKE members who in no means do I consider racist, but they really seem to automatically look at blacks as "they wouldn't want to join our fraternity". I wouldn't mind being in a black fraternity, but I'm glad they exist because they offer many things most non-black fraternities don't offer. My dad is Kappa Alpha Psi from the 70's and even at UC Berkeley wouldn't have stood a chance at getting into any non-fraternity on campus. They existed because back in the day blacks couldn't get into other fraternities/sororities, and because of that have evolved with a different flavor, not to mention that any race is welcome to pledge for a black fraternity. Kappa Alpha Psi at Stillman University isn't just all black.
