[edit] Discussion:

The following statement was added to the page yesterday and I removed it today:

Hacker was a prominent member of Alpha Phi Alpha, the first intercollegiate Greek-letter fraternity established for African Americans.

1) The phrase "Hacker was a prominent member of Alpha Phi Alpha" is probably true but he was a member of MANY organizations. Too many to begin trying to list in this article.

2) The phrase "the first intercollegiate Greek-letter fraternity established for African Americans." is apparently being disputed on the fraternity article so it should not be included here until after the dispute is resolved if it is to be here at all. The fraternities status as 1st or 2nd or 3rd... is not important in any way to this article.

I left the catagory listing at the bottom of the page but I wonder if that should be removed as well...Strbenjr 22:12, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
