Diversity Matters

I'm sure most of you may know the differences between white and black greek fraternities and sororities, but it's always great to take things to another level. Today was one of the most exciting days of my life. Why, you ask? Today, the Phi Beta Sigma's probated on the Mississippi State University campus. Yeah, I know that there is really nothing special about that other than new faces being added to the organization. Today, it was different. I'm in a co-ed Professional Engineering Fraternity, and the president of the fraternity is a white guy. To everyone's surprise, (except mine...I already knew it was gonna happen) On the way in to show their faces, wow! there is this white guy....the Theta Tau president.

I am so proud of him. It's not often you see someone who has the guts to do such a thing. Better yet, it's not often you see someone like him be willing to go through the agony of being on a black greek line. For example, our Kappas are once again on probation for breaking a pledges ribs during his pledging process. Pledging, I'm sure, is no joke.

Anyway, it's always nice to see different races coming together to make things more worth-while. This is not the first time this has happened though. Before she graduated, we had a white Zeta Phi Beta. Currently, we have an Indian Alpha Kappa Alpha. People like these bring a spark to organizations. Always remember, whether you're red, purple, blue or yellow....

DIVERSITY MATTERS....




CONGRATULATIONS, ROD!
