6 Thursday, April 14, 1988 / University Daily Kansan Greeks Continued from p. 1 The numbers are not unusual, said Ann Eversole, director of organizations and activities. Every year, three or four black men and one or two black women try to get into a predominantly white fraternity or sorority. She said that she couldn't remember any black women going through rush this year. Currently, there are no whites in the eight predominantly black houses. There are no written records kept indicating how many blacks go through rush or how many are pledged at the predominantly white fraternities and sororites. Some houses on campus have never had their members, Eversole said. She said she could not identify those houses. "It's hard to judge what the climate is at the sororities because no blacks have gone through rush," Eversole said. "I don't think the climate has changed. We're in a conservative swing." The system is open to all people today, said Molly Wanstall, Panhellenic president. "We do not discriminate towards blacks. We're not trying to keep out anyone, we're not or white," she said. Both Panhellenic and Interfraternity Council officers must sign a statement saying that they will not discriminate against anyone when they register with organizations and activities, Wanstall said. Wanstall said that she wasn't aware of any discrimination within the system. "There are a lot of hurt feelings after rush and some women don't make it," she said. "It's not because of anyone's race." David Morris, president of the Interfraternity Council, also said that he didn't think blacks were prevented from joining the greek system. Members of Black Panhellenic, which governs the eight predominantly black fraternities and sororities and their 70 members on campus, said they also were not aware of discrimination within the predominantly white system. Myron Gigger, president of Black Panhellenic, said that he wasn't sure whether blacks were being discriminated against but he understood why they were hesitant to rush in that system. "Everybody has some prejudices," he said. "However, I don't think that people are actively going around trying to keep blacks out of the system." "It would probably be pretty uncomfortable for someone," he said. "I don't know how a black would feel about being associated with a white fraternity." Devin Simon, Evanson III, first, man, a black student who is a member of the predominantly white Alpha Kappa Lambda fraternity, 2021 Stewart St., said that he felt completely at ease and accepted. "Everyone accepts me for who I am. I feel like I'm the liaison between the guys in the house and my black friends." Keith Smith, president of Alpha Phi, 1014 Mississippi St., a predominantly black fraternity, said that he didn't know whether discrimination was a problem within the white system but he did think blacks fit in better in predominantly black fraternities. "It's just the cultural differences," he said. "It's more comfortable." Although the two systems are very different, relations between them have been improving, particularly in the past year with the creation of the Greek Council. The council meets every two weeks and has representatives from the three organizations. The council has been discussing ways to improve communication among the groups. Leaders from the three groups said that there had never been any bad feelings among the groups. The problem was that past leaders had just never taken the time to work with each other. Mark's Jewlers 817 Massachusetts "There were never any bad feelings between us." Wanstall said. "That was something that was thrust upon us."
