I just read your post and I truly emphatize with your plight. I am a member of Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity and I am a Black man. I went through some of the same things you went through. Some of my situation was different as I was one of the Founders of my chapter (and now its alumni advisor) but some was the same. My family is full of APhiA and AKAs so they looked upon me with disdain and couldn't understand why I would want to do something like this. I simply explained that I thought it over and wanted to be with my friends. I went through a lot of crap from people at my school regarding my decision. The majority of that crap came from the other members of the BGLOs on campus who accused me of selling out. Let it be said right here: I don't sell out to anyone
I have also looked at the rest of the posts regarding this topic and I find most of them amusing. If you want to join a group based on race, creed, religion or color - great for you. However, make sure that when you are out recruiting mew members, you are speaking to everyone. Part of the problem is that we as Greeks overthink the recruitment process - make friends and ask them to meet your other friends and if they like each other ask them to join your group.
As for the Sigma Nus at TSU, good luck as we at Phi Psi are watching to see how it goes. I only hope that we can do the same thing one day.
As always, I'm proud to be a Phi Psi...
