CC Poindexter

It seems that the dispute over CC Poindexter as founder should be mentioned at the article. E.g., "CC Poindexter is considered by some historians to have been among the founders..." --Kevin Murray 21:22, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Picture of Founding House

On Firefox browsers, the founding house appears to be overlapping over one of the founder's pictures. That's why I decided to place the image to the left rather than have it overlapping. Real96 19:59, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

You didn't just move it to the left, you moved it into the middle of a paragraph above, which broke up the paragraph and that made the article choppy are flow difficult to follow and read. Thanks for the attempt, however; It would be impossible to create an article that satisfies all browsers.--Ccson 20:19, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Sorry. Real96 00:34, 28 January 2007 (UTC)


Rushing Black Fraternities

If possible, please clean up this section: Fraternities_and_sororities#Joining_a_black_fraternity_or_sorority. It reads poorly and its citations should be footnotes instead. I am also unsure of the universality of said processes; if they are fairly common, keep them; if not, delete them. Thank you for your help. —ScouterSig 16:45, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
