Teaching formal manners as part of pledging/new membership?

[DrPhil]

Generally speaking, HBCUs and NPHCs were and still are avenues through which racial and ethnic minorities can be exposed to things that most (not all) may not otherwise be exposed to.

Teaching proper etiquette across the generations has been done both formally (college courses) and informally (just hanging with people who know about etiquette). That is how HBCUs and NPHC orgs continue to instill and reinforce these forms of capital in students and members.
