The pledges who rushed Alpha Lambda Mu this week probably experienced the same fun, hijinks and brotherhood found at nearly every other fraternity.

But unlike traditional frat brothers, this group of young men were also reflecting on Islamic traditions that touch their lives daily. They were able to single out current members by their bright red kufi caps. And they were cracking jokes about how the marshmallows they toasted over the bonfire were halal.

Alpha Lambda Mu, also known as Alif Laam Meem, welcomed a group of recruits hoping to join what's believed to be the nation’s first Muslim fraternity, established in February at the University of Texas at Dallas.

A few differences between this group and their stereotypical Greek counterparts are striking. They do not drink. Their social activities often focus on community service. They donate their $100 initiation fee to charity.

Great idea, sounds like they are off to a good start. Wonder if they have a code or guide lines?

Not that I have heard of.

I think the principles of Islam are the guide lines. Probably use the standard frat rules, and just added parts that fit to their needs.

Is there a Muslim sorority?

No need, really. what to do? All frat boys go the same big mosque in Irving, or even Plano - and find all the womens they needs.

No, I'm not kidding.

I wonder if they would admit a Pentecostal and if not would that be Discriminatory by the same standard you used earlier to judge the white fraternity.

Sorry I get paid to ask the tough questions

P.S. were they named by Bluto

I'll take that bet, and say they would. As long as they upheld the rules, no drinking, etc. Because as I have pointed out, minority exclusive things have whites in them, you know the ones that actually apply for it.

It's ironic, most minority exclusive associations were created because whites kept them out. Now, we have our own, whites can join, yet you have folks that complain about it. If they disband the group, they would still be kept out of the all white groups they created the counter part for in the first place.

It's not tough questions if I know the answers already

They probably get their names from some dude named Abdul
