I'm sorry but i seriously laughed out loud. My African American friend was rushing his freshman year during fall and for lack of a better term didn't know the "sterotypes" of certain fraternities and walked into the ka house during rush, saw a confederate flag, and walked back out.

and i always get jorts comments from my ucf and fsu friends but i have maybe seen 3 or 4 people ever wearing jean shorts here.. and defiantly never anyone who was greek. (except for ka who i heard actually HAD a jorts social.. to each his own)

I've seen at least 20 in Gainesville and I've only been there one time for more than an hour. Guys in southern fraternities have too much style to wear jorts as anything but a joke but the GDIs are clueless. Here at FSU we have a high number Guido GDIs and down there in Jortsville there seems to be a high number of geeks in jean shorts.
SEC... unless that kid's a legacy then I think its safe to assume that KA is gonna pass. I can only think of two fraternities here that would take someone of that "caliber" and KA is definitely not one of them. IDK how it is there but KA and EX are probably the two most exclusive fraternities here.

I dont think Obama had supporters in other decades. Hillary supporters would receive the same treatment lol.

Maybe its because I'm from the deep South where virtually everyone is conservative, but he'd have a hard time getting into any fraternity here even without the KA comments, the obama comments alone would be enough for many to show him the door.

I commend you for admitting to that, but don't you think it's a bit rediculous to not live up to thte standards of non-discriminatory?

I don't think its ridiculous at all. I think thats its pointless to have discriminatory laws in GLOs.

And you are not from the South are you?

I live near Oberlin College. You know, the hotbed of Abolitionism and the first college to admit African Americans on a regular basis. Many historians believe that Oberlin was the town that started the Civil War.

Now you know why I think there is way too much distcrimination in SEC fraternities.

Having been a KA little sister while I was at Kentucky (UK), I can truly appreciate this comment. I was from the North (Chicago) and had alot of culture shock going on while I was a student there. OMG! There were people that really thought that the South would "rise again" and I never considered the Mason-Dixon line until I got to UK. Suddenly--there were these guys that liked to dress up in Confederate uniforms, they sang "Dixie" and had atrocious Southern accents. Then they kidnapped my Pi Phi pledge class and the next thing I knew I was a KA little sister, complete with a dark red rose and brothers from all areas of the South.

I remember them all, and I remember my two big brothers well. KA is a really special band of guys, but they are living in a bygone era. Life has changed since Gone With the Wind!

There are southern accents and then there are Deep South accents. I never realized this until I was in the working world, and the deep south accents are very difficult for me to understand.

But then, where I live, you can tell what neighborhood a certain person grew up in by the way they pronounce certain words
