Though Memphis Stateâs 1968 recruitment handbook, A Viewbook: Memphis State University, wasnât published until September of that year, the picture of college life it presented was much like what Mac found on his first day of classes in June: spare and angular brick and concrete architecture, and a mostly white and conservative student body. Greek organizations dominated the social scene, between rush week, post-game parties, sing-alongs, and similar activities. The handbook listed twelve national fraternities and thirteen national sororities, two of whichâDelta Sigma Theta and Zeta Phi Betaâwere historically Black. Below the list was a large color photo of sorority and fraternity members, exclusively white, striking various poses. Several groups displayed bright banners, including one that held a Confederate flag.
Mac attended classes in the mornings beginning around nine, grabbing a Slurpee from 7-Eleven on the way to campus. When he got out at noon, heâd walk over to the student union and scope out the crowd, looking for people dressed like hippiesâlong hair, scraggly facial hair, or sloppy clothes for men and long or messy hair and long peasant dresses and skirts for womenâand Black students. Hippies stood out like beacons, to say nothing of Black folks. He took the same approach as he had when he infiltrated the Invaders, sidling up to them and striking up conversations.
