Why do historically black fraternities brand their members?

I saw one of OU’s players with a huge Omega on his left arm and made me wonder. It seems really strange.

Why do historically white fraternities haze eachother to death?
Posted on 1/1/18 at 6:46 pm to rebeloke
Idk, but in white fraternities that would most definitely be hazing and those fraternities would be kicked off campus.

Thought you meant a different type of member and my reaction was

No way am I branding my member. That’s got to sting the penis really bad.

The University requires it.

Because it actually means something to us

I wonder if slaves were branded like that

Branded emblems were associated with royalty in many sub Saharan African kingdoms.

It's not mandatory. I knew a lot of Alphas and Qs in college. The branding is optional but for the diehards

Not only blacks. Sigma at W&L brands the inner thigh. I felt little sympathy for my little bro.

Cattle reference. They're expected to drop out of school and obtain employment working outdoors.

You brand beasts of burden as a sign of ownership, not humans as a sign status. Amirite?

A lot
