"my daddy was a nobel peace prize winning neuroscientist and i got into EVERY college in the world, from oxford to bob jones U."

if anyone has feminine tendencies on this booch, that finger would have to be pointed at you. the most explaininest mofo that this site has ever seen, LOL. a word from the wise, if an internet screen name can cause you to give out your social security number and bank passwords, you might want to back up from the keyboard.

See, its dumb shit like that. you make these overdone posts questioning my ability to restate my opinions and then when I give you the chance to ask something, you pull this crap. Way to make an unnecessary comment on George Bush......seeing as how you know him and all, I find it very hard for you to know what kind of true logic he has. moron. I, on the other hand, do know him...very well actually from his government days in Texas. He is actually very intelligent and logical.....if you ever get the chance to sit down and talk with him.
Its not that I post accolades for the hell of it, but when someone questions my thinking ability or something of that nature, i'm going to post something to discredit it.

Say what you will, personally I think you are an idiot. Since I offered to post my thoughts to you...you no longer have any reason to comment on whatever it was that I wouldn't say. Keep it up though, you are hilarious.

fraternity is a place, generally with a house, where men live in
fraternal harmony and have a social program plus other interests.
Later arrivals want to be like the "old fraternity" but do not have
the commitment to come forth with the full measure.
Perhaps we ought to re-define fraternity...
I bet that Beta or SAE has their APO shingle hanging on the wall of their principal fraternity. Gosh, my Alpha Theta Rho art fraternity, which was co-ed, had a picnic yearly and the Poly Sci
Pi Sigma Alpha a banquet and Sigma Delta Pi spanish one had a
chili feed. But that does not necessarily fulfill a description of what a fraternity is. Betas made grades, played IMs, dated girls,
had parties, exchanges, work weeks, public service, rush parties,
leadership schools while the other groups played cards in the union. Most of us belonged to various professional or honorary or
some type of club, but it was hardly comparable to what we called a fraternity. You can call these wannabes anything you want to, you can pretend you are really doing something. You can
even install a urinal in the Pi Phi house. You are a sniveling lot of
folks, but within this hoi-polloi lies some good ones, too. I prefer
to communicate to them, and the rest of you...well, potrzebie

The POINT is that something that was once all white colonized at schools that were all black.

I don't care what YOU call a fraternity -- I know what IS a fraternity.

If you don't like being here, you're welcome to leave! There is no reason for you to be THIS damn evil.

actually, i don't care to see anything. i've already seen it, so it's a moot point. there's no reason to ask anything, hell all of gc has already seen it. but i do like it when i see you getting your panties in a bunch.

Get Your facts straight first before throwing stones!

I do not degrade any Greek Organization. Whether or not you beleive, there is a difference in types of organizations.

Each was started for a specfic purpose and with their own ideals.

Your snide comments dont do You justice.

Actually.....

In this case, APO does count. You see, APO chapters don't exist in a vacuum. The fact that APO DOES have SAEs and Betas and Pikes says something valuable here.

APO was a fraternity of men -- all men, and mostly white -- that expanded to historically black colleges at a time when NIC fraternities were not. Yet, many of those men were also members of NIC fraternities.

I wasn't going to let you trash-talk my fraternity when frankly, an all-white GLO is an all-white GLO, regardless of what type of "outfit" is is. It MEANS something that a group of white men colonized at an HBCU. In 1947. And again and again for years and years.

Not a club -- but a fraternity.

While some of what You state is true, there are in this day and age NO all White or Black GLOs. Get Your facts straight. There have been Historically So Called White GLOs who have been on Historically Black Campuses (Campi) and there is no doubt.

I am glad that APO had the foresight to progress to HBCs, but at one time, it was segregated between Male and Female. That too has changed hasnt it?

Erik is a firm beleiver in the Social Greek system and Social Greek system. He just doesnt feel that the two are in the same catagory by defenition. Actually He is correct.

If you have any doubt, ask Our APO Director who is a LXA, Bob London.

And yes, many members of Social Greeks are members of APO.

No, I am not a full practicing APO, but still have the feelings that I did about APO when I was in College at NWMoU!

And please believe had I been a brother before you, it would be a cold day in hell before I'd let you get initiated. Your feelings about APO are clearly passive at best and combative at worst.

Get YOUR facts straight. Instead of internalizing the spirit of what I said, you decided to nit-pick the fact that I said "all-white." Who cares? You're the only person who didn't seem to grasp the spirit of the message.

APO has never kept records based on race. While it's possible that there were African American brothers before 1947, all we really know is that '47 is when we first expanded to a historically black college.

And I NEVER said that GENERAL (not so-called "social" fraternities) are in the same category as RECOGNITION fraternities. However, at one point, they did have more in common than you're prepared to recognize.

I am a scholar of Greek history and traditions, sir. I really don't care what you claim you witnessed -- do your research and bring me some facts. Your anecdotes are meaningless because your credibility is nil.

[Senusret I]

And not to mention, I am a PLEDGED brother of Alpha Phi Omega.....why would I need to ask HONORARY MEMBER Bob London a damn thing if I've been a brother longer than he has? GTFOOHWTB.

[Tom Earp]

Thank You and You show Your self well!

Well, I am not sure what or how well.
