Question: Is Clayton State (GA) an HBCU? I know that Alpha Sigma Alpha has been selected to colonize there. I believe they're the first NPC to colonize there as the school only has NPHC groups, and have heard it refered to as an HBCU.

It seems like an HBCU. It looks like all the GLOs are NPHC.

Regardless, I wish ASA all the best in its latest endeavor.

You're right. 
The school site didn't tell much and I had never heard of Clayton State until today.
Then I saw that it isn't listed on these two sites: http://www.edonline.com/cq/hbcu/ga.htm and http://www.ed.gov/about/inits/list/w...lite-list.html

No, Clayton State isn't an HBCU. Clayton State is similar to Kennesaw State and Armstrong Atlantic State, if any of you are familiar with those schools, just it was converted to "state college and university" status more recently.
Clayton State is a beautiful campus and has a strong music program - the school has been growing by leaps and bounds and being from the area I'm proud of it

Let's remember what HBCU stands for: Historically Black College or University.

As opposed to Hypothetically or Happened-to-become.

We could call those H(ypothetically)BCUs O(nce)PWIs, maybe? We wouldn't want any misled white kids going there by mistake, after all, so they need some sort of racial label

True. Don't forget funding for HBCUs.
The racial makeup of a campus will be interpreted as an HBCU even if the history isn't indicative of that. The parts of the website that I read weren't too detailed regarding the history and makeup, I mostly went based on the GLOs.

Well if you go by that...my alma mater currently has 3 NPHC fraternities and 3 NIC fraternities, but the racial makeup there certainly isn't 50% white men/50% black men.
