Frat that declared 'there will never be a n*gg*r in SAE' hazed black student to death

16. Chapers at other schools have very little to do with each other usually.

It's a kind of Gran Falloon.

My fraternity at UVA, in the mid to late 80's, was not the sort to appear in the news. It was Greek, it was social. It still exists, and I have no reason to believe that by now it resembles what it was then anymore then it resembles any chapter chosen at random.

It was extremely valuable to me. I don't think we can broad-brush the Greek System without a little more work. If it needs to go, well then thats sad, but acceptable. The case hasn't been made yet for such a drastic action.

To anticipate questions, yes we were mostly white and mostly well-off. There were a few black brothers, a few Jewish brothers, a few stoners, a few ROTC, a few working class. When our Vice President came out as gay at a meeting, we were all silent for a few moments, then somebody put up a motion to change one of our little fun songs from "blanky blanks never eat di**" to "..rarely..." The motion passed unanimously and we went to "any more new business." That was a pretty awesome moment. That's what 'brotherhood' is supposed to be about. I hope it still exists.

Would that have happened at a chapter of the same fraternity at Va. Tech? Kentucky? UVA today? I don't know.
