blacks in fraternities

by: Rtr2014   

What I've never understood is why do traditionally white fraternities not want black members even if said blacks would fit in with the guys? If you can be friends with them and have them to your house all the time, why not just give them a bid and at least give them a chance to be a part of our awesome Greek system?

That's what I've heard, but at the same time- I know plenty of alums at old row fraternities pushing for it, so wtf

there's a lot of things you don't understand. Including, why traditional black fraternities don't rush white members.....get it? People want 'freedom' to associate with whom they choose.

^black fraternities and sororities do not rush at all in the sense of NPC/IFC. You rush 1 house for like a semester (some longer, some shorter) in secret.

The black fraternity was created because blacks weren't allowed in white ones. White people are free and welcomed to join black fraternities..They just don't.

Actually it's going to change a lot this year.
Black students will have a lot more opportunities within the next couple semesters than they ever had before

This is a disgrace. As a member of a traditionally white fraternity here at UA, I think it's an absolute shame that qualified african american students do not receive bids. Obviously it is up to the house to make the decision and forced integration/affirmative action is simply insincere and fake, but seriously, students coming from sane and educated families not considering classy, well dressed, intelligent african americans? I for one, plan to take an active role in being more open minded to different races in my house. Stop making our school and greek system look bad and wake up. It's 2014.

You could say the same about the NPHC at Alabama. You're right, this is 2014. Therefore, they should also be forced to reach out to white people as well other races.

don't know of anyone that's white that wants to be in a NPHC fraternity lol and if so, two wrongs don't make a right. That argument is invalid.

….do you not understand the reason NPHC organizations were formed in the first place? because AAs were shunned and rejected from traditional ones. and guess what? they're still being shunned and rejected. trying to spin this around and call them out makes no sense. the ball has been in our court now for decades.

There is already some integration and there will be more.

I understand your comment but the question has not been answered. When a handful of white students show up , will the NPHC organizations give them bids?

Apparently you've failed to read and learn that NPHC has a different style of rush. For one, you rush one house and it's in secret. Only you and the actives know. And you usually cannot rush until sophomore year

So go for it. If you want to be in a NPHC house. They have had white members, there just aren't many that are interested. But if you are, go for it and see! If not, though, don't gripe about them not taking you.
