entation into their houv«* he said
"We have gay and lesbian members in our hous
es." he wild "Too many limcv they tell mo they've
been ostrai ;izod from tneir houses for being gay If
you turn your twit k on a brother 1m*< .him- hit uncle
is gay. that is immoral and shame on you "
keim was very harsh toward homophobic fra
ternity members "What is it about you heterosex
Ufli men'" he asked "What compels you to write.
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 fraternity members
fix used their attention on how to
avoid the gangs through team
work The\ told the children how
react to a gang if they're ever
approm hod They suggested not
oi ting hostile or upset and find
ing the easiest was out of a situ

for the moment and later telling
a parent or guardian that a gang

The fraternity asked the chil
dren to discourage students who
may t«* interested in gangs 1 in*
children heard about positive
alternatives to gangs sut.h as Boy
Scouts, boys’ clubs and after
school sports.
The children seemed to enjoy
spending time with Omega Psi

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

upholding our fraternity princi
