"I don't want to change TSU," Parker said. "But I want every student to
have the opportunity to join a historically black or historically white
fraternity and pick which one is best for them."

So now we know there are actually historically WHITE fraternity! Who said that
there is no racism in fraternities? This white guy said it all.

DOWN white racist PIGS!

Historically black TSU a prospect for white frat

Students at historically black Tennessee State University are trying to
organize a local chapter of a mostly white fraternity.

Sigma Pi would be the first predominantly white fraternity at TSU, where
16.4 percent of undergraduates are white. The school is striving for an
equal balance of black and white students by the year 2000, and school
officials say the addition of a predominantly-white social group could
bring that goal within reach.

"Though some worry that TSU's identity as a historically black college may
be compromised, fraternities like sigma pi may help TSU recruit and retain
more white students," Sara E. Curp, director of Minority Student Affairs,
told the Tennessean.

That's not the driving issue for the 25 students, seven of them black,
interested in starting up a chapter of the national fraternity. Eric
Parker, a white TSU freshman, said he and his friends decided in August to
start a fraternity that anyone could join.

"I don't want to change TSU," Parker said. "But I want every student to
have the opportunity to join a historically black or historically white
fraternity and pick which one is best for them."

The group will need about 50 members with 2.5 grade-point averages to gain
a charter next year. The national fraternity will be on campus next week to
set the process in motion.

In a similar move, the predominantly white national sorority Phi Sigma
Sigma will be on campus in February to sell itself to students and
administrators. The change won't come easily. An attempt to form a white
sorority called Sigma Sigma Sigma failed because there were only 15
students serious about organizing, Curp said.

Some students hope this effort will collapse, too. "It's taking away our
heritage," said Kelvonna Warner, a black TSU freshman. "it's taking away
our tradition."

But others disagree.

"My basic opinion is that on white campuses there are black fraternities
and sororities, and I don't see why it would be a conflict," said William
Prater, a white TSU sophomore.

TSU's seven black sororities and fraternities do not exclude people because
of race; in the early 1990s, a white woman joined the traditionally-black
Sigma Gamma Rho.

Heh... that's pretty funny... you only look for the words WHITE or BLACK and then
make your racist statements... the key word, Kyle, isn't WHITE, it's
"historically"...

Our cranially-challenged friend here also forgot to take into consideration
the fact that 8 of the 25 individuals involved are black. Which would
completely disprove his notion that this is a racist action.

Lamdachi, whatever your name is, you are an ignorant fool.
