Good to hear that The Pike Chapter is doing well at Howard as the LXA Chapter is at UNC A & T.

It is up to the young men to make a decission to either go with a BGLO, or look else where. They must have looked else where.

I beleive TKE was the first to Colonize on a HBC and LXA the second.

Does it feel any different than anyone going to a School and not finding any group that they feel comfortable with?

Yes to that last question because you can transfer schools, not your affilation. I would pose the same question to the LXA chapter at NC A&T that I did to the people at the Pike colony.

I am just wondering what you mean by not representing?

Does that mean not acting like a current or all of the BGLOs on campus?


I am sure that each GLO has their way of doing things and do not have to immulate those who are curretly there.

I can't answer the specific question addressed to particular members of non-traditionally black GLOs at those two historically black colleges, but I'll speculate.

If you really believe in the ideals of your group, you want to see them take root everywhere. If you are sincere about not discriminating on the basis of race, then you'd try to have a chapter at every college that you could.

Just as you'd hope that your GLO could recruit minority members at majority white campuses with NPHC group to choose from, you hope that you'd attract some members at historically black colleges.

How can you say that people dont take our chapter seriously at A & T, Obviously someone does if the Council of Presidents voted and we won the Best Greek Letter Organization on Campus, so apparently we must be doing something right. We were always seen in the Holland Bowl playing Football on Tuesday nights, and if not that, then out in front of Dudley playing Ultimate Frisbee, not to mention all of us wearing our letters on Wednesday. So how are we not represented on Our Campus, because we don't step, or is it because we don't attend the probate. I mean you act like your group is so much better than ours, when realistically we are all equal, and yes A & T has presented us with hurdles along the way ( but if you take a look at A & T right now, it is very apparent that they are incapable of even running a school, something they claim to be professionals at, but its kind of hard to take a school seriously when they are being slammed with Audits do to "mis-appropriated" funds, and the police chief having to retire, looks to me, that somewhere along the way A & T needs re-evaluate themselves, and maybe not try and be so hard on a particular group, when their very livelihood is being questioned), but if we weren't achieving what we needed to, then it is very clear that we wouldn't be around at all.



BTW which group do you belong to? The Alphas, whom we have partied with in the past, or are you a Kappa Alpha Psi (Kicked off campus for hazing), and im not asking to be an asshole because I have extremely good friends from the Football team, who are in fact members of both groups mentioned above, I just want to know who you are representing.

Actually I figured out who you are representing, it is obviously Delta Sigma Theta, another group with whom I have several friends (just not at A & T, am pretty good friends with some DST's from Highpoint)

For the record,

I am a LAMBDA CHI at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University.

Wow if A&T is so bad why do you attend there and why did your frat--excuse me--your fraternity want to charter there?

Actually, they can. Of course as in many if not all GLOs, they must be voted on to be accepted. Unless there was a major problem with thier last Chapter, they will be able to affiliate. My chapter just had this happen with a LXA from the Un. of Kansas.

I have always felt that if a member of My Fraternity was thought well enough to be initiated in a chapter they were for a very good reason. They are still my Brother!

I think she meant that one can transfer from one school to another, but cannot transfer from one GLO to another.

Sorry if I miss interpreted.

One would think that they could not change affiliations of GLOs.
