Greek Speaker
by S. Weston Milligan
We are no longer elitists in
society, we are brothers and sisters
unified in greekdom and should be
working together, a NAACP
representative told a group of sor
orities and fraternities at an assem
bly recently held here.
Carolyn Coleman, district arti
san for the NAACP, was speaking
at the Pan-Hellenic assembly
entitled United in Greekdom
honoring the new chapter of
NAACP, the largest oldest and
most active organization in Amer
ica, at Morris Brown.
The NAACP has helped thou
sands already giving the words
opportunity and equality a mean
ing to the world. They have showed
the world that they will fight
oppression in a country that they
were forced to come to.
Nqw, that the NAACP has made
its presence known in history ‘we
assume that once we gain that
bachelors we will be well off
because of the doors that have
opened already, said Coleman.
However, we must not forget the
six million blacks unemployed
with a rate of 70 percent in some
communities. The 30 percent ol
black living in this country below
the poverty level without food,
heat, electricity and water, must
not be forgotten.

Ms. Coleman said, employment
is not President Carter’s top prior
ity, therefore, essentially black
people are not one of the country’s
top priority.
Although the NAACP has a
members of406,000 in America the
injustice, racism and suffering still
exists. The NAACP and SCLC
made up of the students, ministers,
citizens, civil rights activists and
militants, changed quite a bit in the
50’s and 60’s. If we are not careful
we will lose everything we have
gained, but, in sense that isn’t
much.
Black greeks like Martin Luther
King, Benjamin Hooks, Roy Wil
kins and Shirley Chisholm have
shown that their is potential in
fraternities and sororities.
The students of the 60’s, have
made their contribution and the
starting of an NAACP chapter
here should assure contributions
from those of the 70’s.
Yes I Care
Inmate Killed by Guard, Guard
Killed by Inmate, Prison Condi
tions Deplorable—these and other
headlines have graced the local and
national papers all too much in the
past.
Nevertheless, strange as it may
seem the families of prisoners very
seldom find out about facts sur
rounding such incidents.
The Omega Psi Phi fraternity of
Morris Brown College are forming
a coalition for persons interested in
writing letters of encouragement or
exchanging of cultural harmonies
or differences. This coalition will
let the brothers and sisters know
that we are not a lost group of peo
ple here in America and that yes,
we do care.
Usually when an inmate has
no immediate family or is sus
pected of not having anyone on the
outside who cares, he or she is
given no feeling of self-respect
from his peers (guards). He is sub
jected to the worst kind of punish
ment for minor infractions such as
smoking when the lights are out or
severely beaten when he tries to
protect himself from the antago
nistic assaults by guards.
We urge you, the student body
of Morris Brown College and the
Atlanta University system, to come
forward and let the brothers and
sisters incarcerated know that you
care. Also we who are straight for
ward in mind and being potential
leading citizens are aware of our
brothers and sisters plight and care
what happens to them.
It is a proven fact that the states
rehabilitation program is not
working. There is something miss
ing and that is you.

Pledging a Fraternity
by A Pledgee
Pledging a fraternity to most
people might seem a little crazy but
believe me, it’s not. There. - is
nothing crazy about a little self-
discipline, respect for your big
brothers and other fraternities, and
having faith in what you are doing.
The most important thing to me
in the pledge period is gaining
pride in the fraternity, for without
it what use would pleding serve.
A fraternity has many benefits,
such as outings, associating with
other greeks, life long brotherhood
and many more, which to mention
would probably take up all of this
article.
There are thrills, adventures,
enjoytnent and memories which
are unforgettable in pledging.
There is a lot more to be said about
pledging but the best way to find
out is to pledge yourself.
