    My favorite student organization was The Shifters at Wittenberg. They had no purpose other than to be secret.

    Never was a frat guy, but knew many who were. I see no problem.

    But by this logic should they not be calling for the end of the Congressional Black Caucus? Intellectual consistency is a hard taskmaster.

        Last sentence of the article: "Rather than force all other parts of the university to confirm to the views of these opposing students, the university should allow them to create associations that appeal to their own values and interests."

        Well, that's just TUrley being reasonable.

        I remember that there were some houses that catered to certain groups - a white guy like Jon me couldn't join a house that was primarily Jewish.

        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

            We had a couple of black fraternities. The most popular, which housed many basketball and football players, actually branded their pledges. Legit branding, with a hot iron.

                Question. Aside from a whole boatload of grievances, what are all these oppressed minorities contributing, that entitles them to, well, whatever it is they're demanding?

                It's like if I say to you, "Give me all your money." And you say no, and I say, "Give me all your money, cracker," and you say, "Why should I give you my money?" And I say, "Because you have money and I don't, and that's all that counts. Why you keep asking stupid questions?"

                  The only just way to address reparations is to grant everything to those with the best aggrieved narratives. Jesus Cats can’t you learn. Oh wait I can’t say that.

                    The Packers had a middle linebacker named Brad Jones with a brand on his upper arm. According to his wikipedia page, he was in the Omega Psi Phi fraternity.
