I got this in an e-mail and I thought it was interesting. What are your thoughts on this?

Wow...I wonder what would happen if FAMU put that in the student newspaper. I'd love to see the outcry.

I received the same thing in my email from one of my linesisters. It does provoke thought. I think it probably serves those who have had their letters for a while better than it serves neos. We are still so new to the game that we are crunk to do anything (almost) in the name of our organization.
