To be fair I wanted to pledge in undergrad since one of my best friends was the local president. I was being vetted since my campus didn't have a chapter so I pledge through one of the local colleges that did. It was all cool until they had a function I was invited to and I brought a friend with me who was a white Cuban. Motherfuckas stuck us by the bathroom far from everyone else.
Shit disgusted me so much I didn't stay for the whole thing. So in short for men like me who like to live a multicultural kind of existence maybe an organization so focused on race isn't the best fit. I get GL's point because for as much good as a lot of these organizations have done they have also upheld the coercive and discriminatory practices of similar white institutions.

thank you. need to + rep u soon on that

Bliss there is no reason to get upset.

doing good while doing evil doesnt make things better or give balance.

thats like saying you its ok to eat the corn out the pile of doo doo because the corn have vitamins.

hell maybe they cleaned up their act, I dont know and really dont care..but after what TDK just stated they may not have.

being part of a frat or soro doesnt make you a better person.

lastly, at least back then, why the fuck I want to pay someone a line fee to kick and humilate my ass.....so because they went through it. its no real justification for it. NONE. hell, petty jokingly brought up the military...that shit was for a reason, training to protect the country, stay alive, keep your buddy alive and I got paid for it. fuck all that juvenille shit.

I went to three meetings and those fools were trying to punk my ass and Im like "are you serious" . Im fresh out the military. just getting bush out my asshole and the frost off my nose and these fools who just lkeft their moms house are trying to be billy badass and they want me to give them 500 bones for line fee. fuck that. they can kiss my ass. then they want to pull the paper bag shit on other people and other bullshit. hell naw. I can do good in the hood thru other groups...like the NAACP , the national action network and what not. fuck them mofos.

[I]"Beating and demeaning another man"[/I] Is that all you get from what a Fraternity is? So you just ignore the support, networking and brotherhood they provide. (like Boxing doesn't beat and demean, but I bet you've watched plenty Boxing matches).
The reality is GL, male initiation rituals of a physical nature are practiced world-wide and are often viewed as central components of manhood or brotherhood. In many parts of Africa alone, young men endure whippings and beatings in unflinching silence in their-rites-of-passage to be considered men in the village.

We know about the brown paper-bag test. Why are you throwing up Wiki as if Frats invented it?
Yes Fraternities partook in it, but during that time so did thousands of other Institutions and people in Black society. Ever visit DC? Ever been to a barber shop? In the mid-19th Century, barbershops served only light-skinned brothas. Ever been to a party with fellow Blacks? A Club? A Black Church? A Black Civic group? A School? Wait, isn't that YOUR choice of profession? Scrap that decision, I hope. Because all those places along with various organizations utilized the paper bag test for social verification.

Yes, I saw School Daze but a Spike Lee movie does not define Fraternities. Are you serious? I would HOPE that you wouldn't use what was once widely practiced across many social circles to try to implicate that Frats are therefore 'coonish" and slave boys'. Do you bloody homework GL.

BTW, you also mocked their Stepping when many of the popular steps today hail directly from NIGERIA from a Nigerian immigrant who was a Frat. I bet his dark skin failed the BPB test, right?

You're doing a real disservice because you just want to down the troll.

in regards to boxing ....just like I stated in the military.....you get paid for it. also i dont care for boxing and mma....because i just dont get into it and i have my reasons. But at least those guys are doing it to get paid and win glory....frats and soros pay someone else to demean them so they can be in a club.naw...not my cup of tea
