Kill fags'' on bathroom walls and doors? Quit rwnng openly hostile’ When I have my pants down in a bathroom, the last thing I'm thinking about are gays " he said As for the problem of alcohol and drug abuse in the grwk system, keun got down on his knees dur ing the lecture to beg fraternity and sorority mem Iwrs to look out for their friends "I'm not asking you to practice prohibition." he said "I'm asking you to practice low or no-risk drinking How can wa call ourselves brothers when we allow a brother to die bis ause we let him go drive drunk Keim got down on his knees again to implore fraternity and sorority members to practice safe sex if fhev choose to have intercourse To stress this point Keim asked the entire audience to repeat a ft «tr hue. "It's OK t»i*W- : - - "If vou choose to be sexual, there are three things you have to rememtier I se a condom, use u condom, use a condom." be said Along with prnctlt ing safe sex. Keim urged fra ternity mem Iwrs to treat women like their sisters or future wives “You wouldn't want thorn passed around or drunk." he said Komi also asked sorority women to demand more respect from their boyfriends Hut the two most important steps greeks could take to improve their image on campus would be to study harder and to serve the community more Keim implied that studying harder may actually help the fraternities and sororities become more multicultural. "Go to the library between classes." he said "That way. you won't see anybody you know T)o your homework It's also a great chance to meet the international students at the University." he said Keim encouraged University gn*eks to continue their work for the community Last year, gruek organizations nationwide raised more than $40 million. Keim said During halftime of the Oregon Stnto-Oregon game, it was so great to see the fraternity men and sorority women together presenting a check for $30,000 to Sacred Heart Hospital. Nobody doe . more (for the community) than the greeks.” he said Keim said that if fraternities and sororities could take steps to get rid of stereotypes that surround them, then greeks wouldn't lie ashamed of wearing their letters anymore. H<* said that greeks across the country sometimes are afraid of being ridiculed "If we re peeing off balconies, date raping and earning below average grades, then we should be ashamed." be said "We run into a problem when we sav one thing and do another This is reality W e have to dean up our houses, then turn around and clean up our communities."

The children seemed to enjoy spending time with Omega Psi Phi I like them because tlie\ teach us about things so that when we grow up we won't do them, no drugs and no gangs." said Ange lo Johnson, a fifth grader at the elementary school. "We want to do teamwork things like basket ball. baseball and football because they 're cool and gangs aren't l.oLo Reyes, a fourth grader, said. "It's cool that they come and teach us not to tak«■ drugs and join gangs. It's a lot of fun, too. bona use wo play a lot of sports like basket ball with them." The fraternity members said they get a sense of giving from volunteering their time. "It's good to know that we're giving something back to kids who are in the same situation. We hope that we can make a real influence and motivate them to stay on the right track," said Craig Sims, chapter presi dent. "It's community service that is mandated by the nation al fraternity.
