African American students could go weeks without seeing one another and their participation in school activities was typically prohibited or highly discouraged. African American students were also not allowed to join athletic teams with the exemption of track and field.

Now stop lipping for a laugh and provide some type of truth from literature written and researched by members of the Kappa Alpha Psi. If not, keep wearing the mask of silliness. This is why I placed it in the Round Table so that we may have an intellectual conversation about this topic.
