Fraternities Not Racist
I am a Cal State Northridge graduate who spent three years as a little sister for the Sigma Nu fraternity and never witnessed any racism in the Greek system. (“Frat’s Suspension Ignites Racism Debate at CSUN,” Times Valley Edition, Nov. 15.) There were no racial slurs and nothing happened at parties that would be considered racist. However, I had to take a Chicano studies class to satisfy a graduation requirement. I was one of maybe five or six Anglos in the class and the professor actually taught hate, taught all of the Chicano students to hate us. It was torture.
Racism is not going on in the student population, in the fraternities and the Greek system. But it is evident in the classroom.
