Well, Idiot Newbie, I asked if this has been discussed so someone could direct you to a more informative thread. Word to the wise, if you go into rush being an assumptive idiot you'll have more than being black to worry about. Good luck.

No need for name calling. If it was taking as me being, "an assumptive idiot" apologies are in order,(on my behalf) but that's how i took it when i read it. If your intentions were mentioned in your previous message then it could have been avoided.
But, I'm a new member to GC but when i was doing searches on the topics that were mentioned I never found anything similar to this thread, hence the reason i posted it. But since there seems to already be discussions about it I'll keep looking. Thanks

The last president for my chapter was one of our black member. If you like the girls and they like you race should not be an issue.

^^^^^^
Aren't you being a bit harsh?????
Anyways..... in reply to this thread.....
One of my best friends in my sorority is black. There are also people who are asian, indian, and arabic. I honestly don't think anyone thinks about it when we're all together unless somebody brings it up. When rushing be yourself because that's all that's going to matter in the end.

umm last time i checked the War of Northern Agression ended in 1865 and Phi Mu wasn't founded until the late 1870s ?? correct me if I'm wrong, but that's the Reconstruction period and not the Civil War.

True, but the "South never died" mentality was VERY strong in parts of the South until the 1960s. I do not know a lot of about Phi Mu's founding, but in GA and other Southern States, many people at that time had family members who had fought in the war, and never thought as if it was truly over. Hence some of the confederate sentiments.

Phi Mu was founded as the Philomathean Society in 1852 at Wesleyan Female College in Macon, Georgia.

[mini-hijack] Why are you calling it the "War of Northern Agression". It is called the Civil War and in all technicalities the South started the war by firing upon unarmed Union soldiers at Fort Sumter. So maybe if the name of the Civil War is going to be changed it should be the War of Southern Agression, since they started it.  [end mini-hijack]
Phi Mu was founded a year after us, and we were founded in 1851, which means they were 1852. So yep, both of our sororities were around for the Civil War. And we were probably supporting the Confederacy since we were founded in Georgia.

Because we are Southerners, and that's what it's called. If you prefer, we could call it the 'Late Unpleasantness'.
