TO THE EDITOR:
I wish I weren’t painfully reminded I went to a Primarily White Institution anytime I encounter parties at frat court. The level to which they discriminate really has gone too far, and it reinforces stereotypes that should have been eradicated long ago. For example, if your skin is of darker color, there is a 99 percent chance that you will be stopped at the door and asked, “Do you know a brother?”
If you wear the Vineyard Vines T-shirt and shorts above the knee, accompanied by the Sperry’s, your chances might increase by 10 percent. Maybe that’s stereotypical, but that’s the very thing members of white frats do. However, let a white individual come to a black house party. No matter how packed it already is, they don’t turn you away. They don’t ask if you know someone, because that doesn’t matter. It’s saddening that Frat Court isn’t more like that.
