 After 1968, African Americans also gained equal access to the organizations that reported to ETSU administration, including the cheerleading corps, the Student Activities Board, and student government.However, they had a much more difficult time gaining access to the Greek organizations on campus; Reynolds notes that the existing fraternities and sororities "continued to exemplify a greater degree of segregation than any other segment of the university".To remedy the situation, African American fraternities Alpha Phi Alpha and Omega Psi Psi petitioned for recognition in 1969 and were chartered in February 1970.
