The web site, www.fratty.net , is not run by
the university. It’s actually based in California, and is a place where
membersof fraternities and sororities can talk with each other about topics
of interest to them.

Some recent posts by USC students have been called negative and
racist. The posts refer to the upcoming move of the Omega Psi Phi fraternity to
USC’s Greek Village, which currently consists of traditionally white
organizations.

The language used in some of the messages is offensive, and has
university officials looking to discipline those responsible. Dr. Dennis Pruitt
is Vice President of Student Affairs. "We are not going to allow students to engage in behavior that
threatens or intimidates other students." Vince Ford works with members of Omega Psi Phi around the world. He doesn’t think this incident should give USC a black eye.

"Because it’s not the entire university, not even the entire Greek community. What you have is likely four or five people who have expressed some negativity, and that’s unfortunate."

Fraternity and Sorority members we spoke with disagreed on how the
historically black fraternity would be accepted in the Greek Village.
Some said it would be a positive change, while others said the messages on
the web site reflect a real feeling of hatred by some on campus.

USC officials say they’re looking into how to handle the incident,
and how to better educate the entire student body about taking part in oline message boards.

*Here are some of the comments made from the website’s message board
regarding our inclusion in the Greek Village. The more things change,
the
more they remain the same:*

*That cotton idea is funny as **** and a great way to set the tone
for their
time here. Hopefully, the house never actually gets built, though. It
will
only bring loud niggers, even louder nigger bitches, and trashy ***
wiggers
and white-trash girls around. But hopefully Darwin was right and these
spooks will wind up tearing the house down in a week or two. Much
longer
than that and well have to do it for them. What do you say guys?
Heres to
ridding the village of our african-american infestation
