    Texas Education Review Lions, Tigers, and South Asian Greeks: Oh, My! The Opportunity for More Research! Bilal Badruddin, MEd Howard University Volume 5, Issue 2, pp. 17-20 (2017) Available online at www.txedrev.org Badruddin Lions, Tigers, and South Asian Greeks: Oh, My! The Opportunity for More Research! Bilal Badruddin, MEd Howard University Within colleges and universities, fraternities and sororities face many of the same issues affecting the larger society. Each university fraternity and sorority community is a microcosm of the campus community in that the challenges within fraternities and sororities are reflected in the broader college and university environment. One of these challenges relates to race and ‘who gets counted.’ Given that “diversity initiatives regarding campus climate, retention, and representation [tend] to focus on Blacks and Latinos” (Accapadi, 2012, p. 78), the absence of the Asian/Pacific Islander/Desi-American voice in conversations about race epitomizes this broader, campus-wide problem. To date, fraternity and sorority research focuses heavily on organizations with predominately White membership. Only recently have scholars like Gregory Parks, Walter Kimbrough, Lawrence Ross, and Juan Guardia focused on the experience of Black and Latinx organizations. Still, there is a lack of research focusing on fraternities and sororities with a focus on Asian identities, resulting in the lack of effective support from university administrators. Lions: A Brief History of Fraternal Organizations Collegiate fraternal organizations have a strong history in America, starting with the founding of Phi Beta Kappa in 1776. Tobenson (2009) states: The next recorded appearance of a Greek-letter organization occurred thirty-six years after the founding of Phi Beta Kappa.

    2020-2021 New Member Resource Guide William M. Byrd Chi Phi National Headquarters Building 1160 Satellite Blvd. NW, Suwanee, GA 30024 Phone: (404) 2311824 Email: [email protected] Website: www.chiphi.org Published by the National Office of the Chi Phi Fraternity. Copyright © 2020 0 Dear New Member, Congratulations! You are about to embark on a lifelong journey of membership into the oldest and one of the most venerated College fraternities in America. This journey will be filled with numerous lifelong friendships, experiences, and opportunities. Established at the College of New Jersey (later Princeton University) on December 24, 1824, our Fraternity has witnessed our members distinguish themselves in virtually every walk of life. Chi Phi was founded on friendship and for almost two centuries has steadfastly stood for Truth, Honor and Personal Integrity. As members of Chi Phi, we profess and subscribe to a higher form of friendship that we refer to as Brotherhood. Chi Phis are gentlemen who respect and defend the rights of others. We profess a devotion to high moral conduct and responsible citizenship. We are today’s campus leaders and tomorrow’s world leaders. As members of the Fraternity we have a sacred obligation to one another. Membership requires that we demonstrate a spirit of sincerity and respect toward each member. We can be diverse yet be of one heart. We can agree to disagree, but at the end of the day we can still embrace in the spirit of Brotherhood. As in most relationships, the benefit you derive from Chi Phi will be directly proportional to the effort you expend as a member.
