<p>I had a much longer response originally typed up but deleted it. It included:</p>
<p>There is at least one secret society on grounds with a history of anti-minority thinking (it was founded to keep women out of UVA). People only watch them do their annual secret society ritual to taunt them for this backwards thinking. So I would say that is an example of racist intolerance. To further clarify so you don’t take that in any wrong way: Most secret societies exist now for philanthropic reasons. UVA has a history as it was founded in 1819 in the south, I’m entirely sure it was built by slaves, and there are what used to be slave quarters on the Lawn. There were no women until the 1970s. But it has progressed beyond that very well and quickly by now. The secret societies were all founded in the early 1900s through the 70s, if even that late, to give perspective. Here is a post I made when I watched people mock them: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/1060187819-post63.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/1060187819-post63.html</a></p>
