Diverse Fraternity Gets Second Black Guy
In a press conference earlier today, Ben Johnson, Diversity Chair for Northwesternâs revolutionary Beta Beta Beta fraternity, proudly announced the successful recruitment of their second black guy ever. Coming on the heels of Beta Beta Betaâs ground-breaking decision last year to get their first black guy, this diverse fraternity is once again shifting the paradigm of what it means to be inclusive.
âAt a school like Northwestern, supporting diversity and fighting systemic injustice is critical to maintaining a healthy and inclusive community,â Johnson explained, âThatâs why we went ahead and got ourselves a black guy last year. This year, weâre pushing the envelope even further.â
However, Johnson is the first to admit that getting a second black guy wasnât easy. âI sat all the frat guys down and had to explain, âHey, I know it sounds crazy but imagine what could happen if, maybe, we get a whole new second black guy?â At first they had trouble understandingâitâs a hard concept to wrap your head around.â
For Johnson to come up with such an innovative idea, he needed a little help. Reportedly, the notion came to him after he confronted the fratâs original black guy who seemed a little down and uncomfortable. From the ensuing discussion, Johnson learned from the black guy that it might be nice if he was not the only black guy. Inspired, the brave diversity chair ran with the suggestion. As Johnson himself stated, âCrazy exciting ideas like this just donât happen in fraternities less progressive than Beta Beta Beta. It truly is a groundbreaking thing.â
Reporters tried to get in touch with the new Beta Beta Beta black guy but he declined to comment, stating only, âMy name is Will, jackass.â
