An Experience

Racism exists in most houses on
the Grounds, as it does in many
communities across the nation.
Unfortunately, this policy is often
formulated by only a small
minority who use the ideal of
brotherhood to hide their bigotry.
Fraternity can be a rewarding and
gratifying experience. However,
until racism can be overcome, it is
an experience which is terribly
lacking in breadth and is
considerably outmoded.
Fraternities must reassess their ball
systems, otherwise the few will
strangle the many, and there will be
no brotherhood left for anyone.
