On the Russian subject...

Sistermadly - maybe it was just where and how I was brought up, but I didn't think anything about a white woman joining Zeta Phi Beta, but that she was Russian. The University system and obviously the culture are so different I find her nationality more interesting than her being white. The Greek system is definitely an American thing, though fraternal organizations are not. I am moving back to the lower 48 (hurrah!!!) but if I was staying here I'd take a serious look at Delta Sigma Theta. The ladies here are always representing themselves well, and I see them in their letters all over town. Even in Japan the Deltas were visible and doing their thing well. I would rather be in a group that is about something, than one that you never hear about and never has their name in the paper for all the good works. Not that all NPC groups are like one I am thinking of, but forming a colony because you and your friends all have boyfriends in a fraternity is not for me; having sisterhood and making the world a better place is.

Secondly...I am in complete agreement with all the comments about the people who post with complete stupidity. Where did they grow up and how did they become so ignorant? I had a discussion with my friend about the blackface incidents and she almost signed up for an account so she could post comments of her own. How can anyone ever think that is okay? EVER? Or a "ghetto fab" party...what goes through their heads and what world do they live in? As far as interracial relationships go, my best friend is the product of one, and she is such a great friend I am all for them.

Maybe there should be a thread...though it is mean spirited and would likely be locked "stupid post of the week". My nomination is for the guy who thought black people chose to be branded with their affiliation because tattoo ink wouldn't work on their skin. Or perhaps the people defending the Kappa Sigs in Tennessee because "it is a costume party". What scares me more is that these people somehow made it into college, and they may BREED!!!!
