Take it from former CA senate leader Kevin De Leon, on the prevalence of fake documents: justfactsdaily.com/politifact-dec…Image

1/Short thread on race and Greek life. This legal scholar recently filed some FOIA requests for public universities to get some data on mainstream frats and sororities (IFC/Panhellenic) and this is what the data looks like overall: Image
