Hip-hop = the voice of youth
Collegians = youth
In the 1970s, Greeks who were made in the 1950s and before might have complained that the "bad side" of the black militant movement was negatively changing the aesthetics of Greek life also.

LOL @ "it's expensive being a Kappa". That could be a siggy.
The saggy pants were in when I was an undergrad (it was tacky then as it is now), but, I don't like seeing t-shirts like "Nupe Juice, a taste "akuired" by women" ...or whatever. That looks really tacky. With the saggy pants, IMO, that comes from upbringing, not necessarily the bad side of hip hop.
With nalia, I wore Kappa cardigans a lot when I was in school, and collegiate pullover Kappa sweaters. I'd like to see more of this or similar.
Now, this is Kappa.

LOL I can't say that I heard that one, Phi. When I go back to CSU for homecoming this year, I'll ask our neos if they do it. Now, I'm curious, I'd like to hear what it sounds like.

I'm not sure if it's done anywhere else but I know I've heard it in MS done by different chapters here. Check out this vid...fast forward to 0:40...you can hear it in the background...

It was hard to hear, unless I was hearing Deltas. That's what it sounded like, to me.
