hbcu experience...

not ashamed to say it but i will be a 5th year senior that will be graduating from alabama a&m university may 14th, 2010. i have come to experience a few things and its one thats not sitting well with me...

in my opinion, hbcu's focuses too much greek organizations. 

***BEFORE I REALLY START SHARING MY OPINION...I HAVE FAMILY AND FRIENDS IN EACH AND EVERY GREEK ORGANIZATION...I HAVE RESPECT/LOVE FOR THEM ALL AND I MEAN NO HARM OR DISRESPECT WHEN I SHARE THIS***

a few of my friends are in greek organizations and we were having a conversation, when it hit me...when on a hbcu campus...

• its certain words or phrases you might not be able to say that you normally use in everyday conversation or in a joke because an organization has deemed it there's. 

• you cant wear certain colors to an event or sometimes period or they/people will think that you want to be in that certain organization with those colors.
  

• you cant really listen to certain songs cause they are so called just for that organization when they stroll. 

• you may not be able to dance a certain way or people will think that you are doing apart of someone's stroll.

i thought to myself...that sucks. you basically have to walk on ice or people will jump down your throat. ***AGAIN NO DISRESPECT*** but damn can i live??? ive come to gripes that there are bigger things in the world then this but when you are in the atmosphere of a hbcu, they make it seem like either you're greek or just a regular ass person. 

i will say, MAYBE its something that i just dont see cause im not in one...all im focused on is graduating, making my family happy and building my own empire. this petty stuff that surrounds colleges period is childish and very immature. 

this is just my opinion...everybody has one.
