Last time I checked it’s 2015. I’m your typical white, caucasian American who was raised in the typical family. I had parents and grandparents who told me racism is wrong and my grandparents even admitted to being racist in the past and talked about how embarrassing it was. So it’s difficult for me to understand sometimes why this is even a topic still, but I’m told that’s because I’m white. This is frustrating. It’s inequality. It’s putting others down. I don’t see a purpose in it. We are told all humans are made equal, then later some people choose to discriminate, because someone’s skin looks different? That is dumb as hell! Only to make this worse some frats, not fraternities, even nurture this ideology… Why? Why does this exist? These are organizations that should be preparing us to be the leaders to take us all to a better world, and yet some still use racist slurs as if these words hold no meaning… So how do we fight this as proud members of the greek community? Well you recruit for diversity! And not for diversity of race, but diversity of background! We look for strength in difference, not similarity. We understand that skin color does not matter, but actually it is words and actions that matter. And we stand up as Greeks against our fellow Greeks who are too ignorant to realize this and we denounce them from our community. This is a time where equality should exist, and it should be us, the Greek leaders, leading the path to equality!
