No OT for the police that week/weekend…
And the fraternity will change its name to Alpha Sigma Sigma.
The glass stores are sad. Potential business just took a dive.
it’s important to consider that Gov. DeSantis has also taken steps to support and uplift the Black community in Florida. For example, he recently signed a bill that provides funding for historically Black colleges and universities in the state. Additionally, his administration has worked to increase access to healthcare and job opportunities for African Americans in Florida.
Is this a big event? I’ve never heard of them.
Wiki
Alpha Phi Alpha’s membership is predominantly African-American in composition with brothers in over 680 college and graduate chapters in the United States, the District of Columbia, the Caribbean, Bermuda, Europe, Asia, and Africa. Since its founding in 1906, more than 290,000 men have joined the membership of Alpha Phi Alpha and a large percentage of leadership within the African-American community in the 20th century originated from the ranks of the fraternity.
If there were only 290,000 since 1906 it must not be a large number now.
I doubt Floridians mind.
Back in ‘86, when I was president of my fraternity and personally scrutinized for adherence to my Fraternity’s “no hazing” policies (amomg the only in the nation at the time), the APhis would publicly haze and demean their pledges right on campus. Everyone just looked the other way.
We were always thankful to bring in our very rare few black brothers, cuz those APhi guys were self segregating and overtly racist. Yet, I defended them because I “felt sorry for black people” at the time, and my strong conservative brothers metaphorically beat that crap out of my noggin, immediately. I learned about the “bigotry of low expectations” before Limbaugh coined it, years later.
Maybe this will change the demographics of Spring Week next year
To the relief of many Floridians
I live in the Orlando area. At best, black college gatherings bring a wave of disorder and criminality to Orlando’s nightlife. This is to be more or less expected when often fatherless young men of any race gather in large numbers without supervision looking for a good time.
When I was in Army Boot Camp, one of guys in my platoon had been in AϕA. He claimed that Boot Camp was much easier.
It will be safe to travel to Florida, now.
I’m sure Flarduh is mourning the loss of the opportunity to host another FreakNik.
