<p>African American? Asian? GLBT?</p>
<p>The only one of these I can comment on is GLBT. Emory's LGBTQ group, Emory Pride, is pretty active. I think they have weekly meetings that ususally involve discussing policy, and watching a LGBTQ film and having dinner. There's also an Emory Pride drag show and they do other things....I have a few friends that are active in it and I know they have a large office in the DUC. </p>
<p>There are lots of Asians at Emory, but I don't know anything about organized groups of students. There is also the Black Student Association (BSA) and they're pretty visible.</p>
<p>There's also a traditionally black fraternity and sorority. Every group is represented in some way and all have a clear presence on campus</p>
<p>Emory Tends to self segregate.</p>
<p>for example, in one of my classes of sixty students the two black kids sit together, and the 10-15 asians sit in clusters of 3-7. There are also about 6-8 asians on my hall who hang out pretty exclusively. A handful of asians are involved in greek life (1-5 per house). Very few black students are in frats outside of the "black frat."</p>
<p>Obviously there are exceptions to every rule. </p>
<p>I don't have much experience with glbt.</p>
<p>apologize if the post is not pc enough</p>
<p>No, don't apologize.
I hate when people on CC (or in general) try to be all PC & sugarcoat things when all they're being asked to do is tell the truth about a situation such as this ..</p>
<p>Thanks for the honesty..</p>
<p>There is a ridiculous amount of kids straight from south korea that hardly speak english. They all hang out together in their large asian groups and love to talk excessively loud in the library. It gets awkward when one of them ends up being your roommate or living next door. I swear they never sleep...the cultural differences are really ****ty to live with.</p>
<p>I'm only singling the koreans out because they seriously just don't want to assimilate. The Indians, however, are ****ing awesome and want nothing more than to be your friend and go out to the bar with you until 5 am. They actually want to make friends instead of sticking to their own kind.</p>
<p>Edit: One of my favorite moments this year was when I was walking back to the dorm from the library at 3 am and suddenly a line of 10 koreans on razor scooters came rolling down the hill. The stereotype was just too much to handle.</p>
<p>js1091 is dead on. I'm not really sure what it is, but they're the only group that's so insular. I mean, I understand trying to find friends similar to yourself, but it's taken to a whole new level. The scooter crews are hilarious though.</p>
<p>Other than that, Emory's segregation is a bit overstated sometimes. Pretty much any college has racial groups sticking together to at least some extent, and it's not like anybody is excluding anyone. You'll have good friends from a dozen countries and nationalities in no time.</p>
<p>I’ve had experience with the (sometimes annoying) exclusive nature of many Koreans in my area as well (not meant to be a slamming comment), I guess it’s not that different in other places. But how do other Asians fit in? Especially Chinese, Indian, etc?</p>
