This is a question I have heard over the years. It appears to be based on incomplete or partial knowledge of Christianity and incomplete
or partial knowledge of black Greekdom. So before I respond to the question lets perform a general overview of Black Greekdom and then a
review of possible conflicts with Christianity. BRIEF HISTORY OF BLACK GREEK LIFE Imagine a time when African Americans are second class citizens. Very few white institutions of higher learning admit black as students. The vast majority of black doctors, lawyers, dentists, teachers, nurses, and scientists were graduates of historically black colleges. The students of these historically black institutions were a mix of legacies – students whose parents attended the college, first in the family to attend, olderstudents who worked their way through school, self-pay students –parents had the money to pay cash for the tuition, room and board.
