This is Part I of two pancocojams series that showcaseS a 2008 video of members of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. performing a march (a stepping routine).
In addition to that video, Part I includes selected comments from that video's discussion thread that document critical comments and rebuttals to those comments about Black people joining Greek letter fraternities and sororities.
This compilation documents that it's not just non-Black people who have misconceptions about Greek organizations in general. This compilation also documents that some Black people have strongly negative opinions about Black people joining Greek letter organizations.
Click http://pancocojams.blogspot.com/2016/08/branding-mean-mugging-grittin-in-omega.html for Part II of this series. In addition to that video, Part II also includes selected comments from that video's discussion thread that refer to the customs of branding and/or "mean mugging".
The content of this post is presented for folkloric and cultural purposes.
In the interest of full disclosure, I'm a member of a historically Black Greek letter sorority (Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc), although I've been inactive in that organization for decades. And, while it's not that pertinent to the folkloric record, I feel compelled to note that I strongly disagree with the reasons the commenters in this compilation give for being critical of historically Black Greek letter organizations

INFORMATION ABOUT THE "DIVINE NINE" HISTORICALLY BLACK GREEK LETTER ORGANIZATIONS
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Pan-Hellenic_Council
"The Nation Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) is a collaborative organization of nine historically African American, international Greek lettered fraternities and sororities. The nine NPHC organizations are sometimes collectively referred to as the "Divine Nine". The member/partner organizations have not formally adopted nor recommended the use of this term to describe their collaborative grouping. The NPHC was formed as a permanent organization on May 10, 1930 on the campus of Howard University, in Washington, D.C. with Matthew W. Bullock as the active Chairman and B. Beatrix Scott as Vice-Chairman. NPHC was incorporated under the laws of the State of Illinois in 1937...
The founding members of the NPHC were Kappa Alpha Psi, Omega Psi Phi, Alpha Kappa Alpha, Delta Sigma Theta, and Zeta Phi Beta. The council's membership expanded as Alpha Phi Alpha (1931), Phi Beta Sigma (1931), Sigma Gamma Rho (1937), and Iota Phi Theta (1997) joined this coalition of Black Greek letter organizations (BGLOs). In his book on BGLOs, Lawrence Ross coined the phrase "The Divine Nine" when referring to the coalition.[3]
As required by various campus recognition policies, neither the NPHC, nor its member national or chapter organizations discriminate on the basis of race or religion."...

There are additional university based Greek organizations with mostly Black membership. However, I don't have a link to any list of those organizations.

SHOWCASE VIDEO: Omega Psi Phi Que Doggs
Where thinkin' aint illegal yet, Uploaded on Jul 18, 2008
Gamma Sig Ques Settin' It Out 75th Conclave 2008
-snip-
Pancocojams editor's notes:
Gamma Sig chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. is located at Alabama State University. "Ques" and "Que Dogs" are positive referents for members of that historically Black Greek letter organization. However, "Que dog" is only an in-group referent (i.e. it shouldn't be used by non-members as a referent for a member of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc.)
A "conclave" is "a private or secret meeting or group": "a gathering of a group or association" http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/conclave
One reason why I'm showcasing this video is because it probably has the most views and comments than any other Black Greek letter organization (BGLO) video on YouTube. As of August 4, 2016 (at 9:41 AM) that video had 1,389,745 views and 1,060 comments.

"Roo to the Great Bruhs. Special Roo to the Great Men that have gone before us, and paved the way to allow us to express ourselves in may ways. Some of these great Men has helped pave the way for these people to be allowed to have such negative comments about an organization and speak so freely. It always kills me when I see comments such as demonic, etc. You fools absolutely have no basis on what you say. Bottom line is you've tried to pledge, you didn't make it, and now you're mad.
Tank
Ace"
-snip-
"Tank" is probably the commenter's "line name". In BGLOs, one definition of the word "line" is "people who join that chapter of the fraternity or sorority at the same time". However, I'm using the word "line" to mean the vertical formation of prospective members or members of a BGLO. These lines are usually formed from the shortest to the tallest. The shortest person standing in the front of the line is the "ace" and the tallest person at the end of the line is the "tail".
HBCU (historically Black Colleges & Universities) dance lines also use the referents "ace" and "tail", although in those dance teams I believe "the ace" is the dancer who performs singles immediately after the captain.

This weekend alone, Butler University's Greek community is hosting three large and successful philanthropic events."

"The Order of the Eastern Star is a Freemasonic appendant body open to both men and women. It was established in 1850 by lawyer and educator Rob Morris, a noted Freemason. The order is based on teachings from the Bible,[1] but is open to people of all religious beliefs. It has approximately 10,000 chapters in twenty countries and approximately 500,000 members under its General Grand Chapter...
Members of the Order are aged 18 and older; men must be Master Masons and women must have specific relationships with Masons. Originally, a woman would have to be the daughter, widow, wife, sister, or mother of a master Mason, but the Order now allows other relatives"...

"Negroes don't have their culture so they need Greek alphabet and Maoris haka?"

"Negroes" is a long retired referent for "African Americans". Usually when that referent is used now to refer to contemporary African Americans it's considered a put down.
Here's information about Maori haka
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haka
"The haka (plural haka, as in Māori, or hakas) is a traditional war cry, dance, or challenge from the Māori people of New Zealand. It is a posture dance performed by a group, with vigorous movements and stamping of the feet with rhythmically shouted accompaniment.[1]
War haka were originally performed by warriors before a battle, proclaiming their strength and prowess in order to intimidate the opposition, but haka are also performed for various reasons: for welcoming distinguished guests, or to acknowledge great achievements, occasions or funerals, and kapa haka performance groups are very common in schools."...

"They are in college so perhaps they are multi-tasking, as in doing both ;). Some people are just multi-talented like that and the rest are like you. By the way this fraternity is one committed to service, meaning they go out into their communities doing all sorts of volunteer work. I guess you can just add that to their list of talents/extracurricular activities. OH AND let me not forget that this fraternity most likely had a GPA requirement of 3.0 in order to even gain entry. Knowledge, use it."

"You are just so stupid. The reason black fraternities even exist are because black people weren't allowed to attend white schools let alone come into their fraternities/ sororities. So they made their own. Now years later these fraternities are still going strong especially at hbcus. And again the only reason hbcus exist are because black people weren't allowed into white schools. So don't try to twist it back on is as if we're the ones who banned y'all. That's like you having your group of friends and not letting me into the group so then I make my own group and you get mad that you can't get in. You're actually dumb as f&&k^. The only reason all white fraternities don't exist are because they decided to open up the all white fraternities that used to be so people wouldn't see the racist trash they really were. So please have several fucking seats. Don't be a hypocrite . We all know the back story of America and how it was and is a racist nation.
