Morgan State suspends fraternity for rejecting student because he’s gay

By Travis Gettys

A historically black college has placed a fraternity chapter on probation for discriminating against a gay student.

Senior Brian Stewart filed a complaint with Morgan State in late October, saying that the Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity rejected him because he’s gay.

As proof, the 20-year-old Stewart showed university officials derogatory social media messages about him sent between fraternity members.

Stewart is a former White House intern who said he’d dreamed of joining the fraternity because his mentor had been a member, and he told administrators he was devastated when he saw the messages about him.

I'm embarrassed for Kappa Alpha Psi, however, I don't know why he would want to be a part of a frat made up of people who felt that way. There are plenty of other frats out there.

--the "need" to find someone or some group to feel "superior" to. Glad to see the school standing up for what's right-- not so long ago it would have been ignored by nearly any authority.
