On the one hand I'm thinking that if these cats were scared they shouldn't have shown interest in pledging. They also had the option to say "thanks, but no thanks". On the other hand, if only 5% of the nightmarish stories I've heard are true, including the widely reported beaitngs and deaths of young black men online, then maybe we as a community need to re-evaluate the process and what the true purposes of the organizations are.

Black Greeks have enough bad truth to deal with. We don't need the lies.
