Non-Black Members in Historically Black Greek Ltr Organizations
I was wondering how others felt about having non-Black members in their BGLO. Personally, I do not have a problem with it. However, I do have friends who feel quite strongly against it. They feel that since African-Americans were not allowed membership into the white Greek organizations back in the day, why should we allow them into ours now?  How do you guys feel about this?

It is interesting that you pose this question, becuase I was thinking about it the other day myself. We have a white member in our alumni chapter, and I have to say that I really don't have a problem with him being there. He is active, pays his dues, and contributes.
As long as these white members understand that our organizations are founded on principles that uplift the black kommunity. I welcome any and all help, becuase there is so much need in our kommunities, especially here in DC. If we as a kommunity were to take care of our own, maybe outside help would not be needed, but I digress.
I know that there are those who would disgree, and I know of some brothers who feel differently, but that is simply my take on it.
Also, Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. was the First BGLO to have a provision in it's constitution that precluded members from barring perspectives based on race.
My founders saw the evils that were visited upon them by whites, and instead of addopting the same flawed way of doing things, they charted their own course, and rose above the discrimination and hatred that was so prevelant in those days (and still happens today).

You asked discogoddess a question. That =/= an opinion.
Keep it moving, please.

Okay, let's pretend you really are a white BGLO aspirant. I advise you to find something better to do than bring up old threads.
