I personally don't see a big problem with the White Fraternities "party dancing". Also there may be some white fraternities that are MADE so if they were to have Pledged.... how would YOU know. Just like there are BGLO's (chapters) that don't have a process and they still stroll , party hop and everything else does it mean that they shouldn't be allowed because there process was not as hard. And if you feel that Strolling is a big deal then whats the purpose of you joining your org. in the first place? It seems to me that this is only a very small segment of the big picture. As long as they are not walking around wearing your letters, doing your call, and doing your strolls then I FEEL that they should be allowed to do whatever they want to do. this was not intended to offend anybody in any way... I was just stating my opinion.... NO I am not greek and if I was then maybe I would look at things alot differently.... but until then this is how I feel.

The reason why i have a problem with it goes beyond just Greekdom. It's bigger than that. In my opinion, i'm insulted becuz i see it as mockery and a form of disrespect. Just like with the video clip that they had stepping, it was all a joke. It's a form a satire..and that is where the problem comes in. In my eyez, seeing white fraternities make fun of what we do is no different than back in the day when white actors would put on Black face and mock African American characteristics and culture.
