gang affiliation. They go twii e
a month to Whiteaker to talk
to the children about drugs,
racism and crime.
They go to Whiteaker for a
reason. "This is the poorest
school in the state. Many of
these children are from single
parent homes Many of them
have already experienced
some connection with gangs,
dnigs or crime.” said Ray liv
ingston, an Omega Psi Phi
member.
The fraternity members
asked the students what they
knew about gangs and gang
activities. The children said
that gangs were involved in
drugs and killing people

a gang and had been shot four
times Other students said that
they already had been con
fronted by gangs and had been
asked to get involved in drug
trafficking

this day he can't feel safe
because people want to kill
him. You don't want to be like
that every day of your life

Fraternities and sororities must lake more
aggressive steps in fighting racism, rape, sub
stance abuse and homophobia, said Dr William
Keim, a former Oregon State professor, to an
audience of 200 in Room 180 PLC Wednesday
night
Keim's lecture, titled "Demythologizing the
Animal House,” also (.ailed upon greeks to make
greater commitments to academics and to com
munity service in order to fight negative stereo
types of the greek system. The lecture was
sponsored by Greeks Advocating the Mature
Management of Alcohol.
Keim, a member of Delta Upsilon fraternity,
acknowledged that fraternities and sororities are
mistakenly lalieied by non-greeks as being racist,
sexist and homophobic. Greeks can fight these
stereotypes by inviting and accepting students
regardless of their race, creed, color Or sexual ori
