St John's Lodge Is A Frat House On The Campus Of NC A&T University

You'll notice there's no mention of that in this article in the News & Record.  A search of the Guilford County Register of Deeds confirms, "SAINT JOHNS LODGE NO 12 PRINCE HALL AFFILIATION F & AM OF N C and previously owned by (drumroll please) the Redevelopment Commission of Greensboro.

Now the questions become: why were minors in attendance at a party in an NC A&T University Fraternity house in the first place, were they being served alcohol and who is responsible for allowing this to happen?

Update: You know what this looks like, right? I'll 'splain it to you.

All week this week NC A&T University has been hosting nationwide high school track and field competitions bringing in potential students  from... well, nationwide. How would it look if the News & Record published stories that while teenage girls are competing on the athletic field on Yanceyville Street, just a few blocks away on East Market Street shootings are taking place on the edge of the A&T campus? Hard to get daddies to send daughters to what they perceive to be war zones, you know? Especially when Daddy can't be there full time to look after his little girl.

So rather than put the blame on A&T, the News & Record publishes a story about more downtown teen violence.

Update 2: Turns out St John's Lodge isn't a Frat house but is in-fact a Free Mason Lodge. Here we go again.
