Seriously, guys. This conversation has been had about eight times. Do we need to do it again?
I'll save you about fifteen pages of drama and give you the final conclusion before this thing finally dies: "Our organizations are different and oriented differently, and we do not need to hang out all the time to have positive relations and coexist on campus."
Goodnight.

Thank you.
That's exactly what I said, but caught shit for it.
Chaos is obsessed with race and that's why these types of threads always end up in 15 pages worth of trash.

Wow. I just can't believe it's 2008 and some of us still believe that all "insert race" people listen to the same music, do the same things, and don't have anything in common with other people. Wow. Says a lot about how far we haven't come.

Not really. People are comfortable about being around people that are like them...
I know several guys in Omega Psi Phi among other black fraternities (mostly A Phi A otherwise), but we would never hang out on the weekends because we don't have any commonalities. Perhaps they are there....but the superficial things which get people to be friends aren't there.
Just because we have Greek letters does not mean we need to hang out with ANY other group but our own. I joined my house, not a Greek system.

That's almost as bad as saying "I have black friends" which at that point renders anything else coming out as moot.
You may have joined your house but once you did that, technically you joined the system...at that point...we all got a commonality...if you don't feel like you have a commonality then why are you even on this board?

This is true but when we do it, we get blamed for not being "diverse" enough. Go figure.

Is EW's brain still telling him that we're saying that all Greeks have to be friends and have to mingle on their free time?

You know several guys in Omega Psi Phi and A Phi A, BUT you don't know all of the men in those organizations nor do you know all of the men that fit [insert whichever race you choose here]. Maybe you don't have anything in common with them. Maybe you didn't take the time to find out. But what they do/like/etc. as an individual does not mean EVERYONE in their organization does/likes/etc. the same things/the same way. However you felt qualified/justified in describing an entire subset of men based on the few that you may actually "know".
And you did join a system. If you didn't you wouldn't be posting on greekchat but would be posting on a message board exclusively for your organization/chapter.
