<strong>Subject:</strong><br />The Machine Doesn't Want to Be Inclusive<br /><br /> Poster Message:
A lot of posts about NR v. OR, OOR girls vs. Southern girls and the lack of racial diversity. The Machine and its member sororities and fraternities who decide everything that is put up to a student vote has no desire to actually include outside groups (non-southern kids; non-white kids)in any of their decisions. OR (all OR sororities and fraternities are members of The Machine) isn't geographically or racially integrating because nobody wants outsiders in the school's or state's governing bodies or social positions (homecoming court, etc.). This is a very real thing at the U of AL and nobody here talks about it... because they are in a house that is a member of The Machine or they are alumni of such houses. A couple years back, The Machine got behind a racially diverse candidate for Student Government when they were getting blow back about racism. A couple of OR houses have even extended bids to racially diverse candidates for similar reasons but at the end of the day, The Machine has no interest in giving any meaningful roles to OOR or racially diverse students. Its the South ya'll. Not all sororities and fraternities on campus are members of The Machine...just the ones that are repeatedly identified here as being "the top."
