Re: Putting a little more objective spin on the topic:
 

So, in the end, this topic comes down to what we stated pages ago.

We should maintain separate councils. If we are to FORMALLY come together (though I don't see the point in that) there should be an additional council formed.

I see a big problem with eliminating the NPHC and allowing ourselves to be outnumbered (and maybe even overpowered) in a unified council by the plethora of IFC and NPC organizations.

Just to throw another light on the subject. I do not consider the NPHC to be a governing or ruling body. Each member is autonomous in its own governance.

I see the NPHC more as a coordinating body--for local affiliates, a way to work together to make sure activities and events don't conflict, and nationally to provide a vehicle for the national presidents of the D9 and represntatives from local pans hells to discuss mutual issues and sometimes issue joint statements.

We don't even have a local pan hell --collegiate nor alumnae here.

Sorry I asked
 

Well, no one can say I didn't at least try to offer a peaceful solution to all this brouhaha.

Starang, since you obviously can't have a discussion with me without having to resort to personal insults, I'm gonna just say this:

You don't like what I have to say in my posts? TOUGH!!

That's your problem, not mine.

Simpleton that, Jack!

Not really.

Re: Sorry I asked
 

naw, i really don't care about your posts. i'm posting my comments about them because i can. they're irrelevant and insignificant, most of the time to the actual topic at hand because they always fall back down the same path.

"NPHC'ers are so arrogant and so elitist!! i wish they would just shut up and go away!! they shouldn't be so secretive and so guarded about their own!! they're such jerks."

remind you of anyone?

i gave you an example of an intellectual discourse. sticking to the topic and not diverging is a good start, junior birdman.

Re: Here's an all-inclusive Black Greek Council
 

I am familiar with BGCs since I attended a university that had one. Our non-NPHC group was Beta Phi Pi. They are no longer at the university and I don't think they can ever come back.

Most universities will throw us together to cut back on how much money they have to give councils. They'd rather have 3 councils than 4 or 5.

So true. A part of me wonders if it will ever take on a bigger role in our organizations?

Re: Re: Putting a little more objective spin on the topic:
 

Chaos, sometimes the "fun" of the debate is in the actual debating, not so much in the resolution of any given issue.

Just like when we travel, half the fun of the travel is the traveling, not necessarily in the reaching of our destination.

I had fun on this debate, believe it or not, because I like to debate. I hope everyone else can say the same thing.

Re: Re: Re: Putting a little more objective spin on the topic:
 

How silly.

The point of debating on relevant topics, in which you are NOT trying to just mess with people, is using logic to avoid circular dialogue. If all you wanted to do is vent, bash, and eventually use extra words to repeat everything we said, then you are special. I don't mind a moot debate or argument but don't do that under the guise of "objectively" and intellectually approaching a topic.

Ugh...shut up. :o

:mad:

I was referring to Gamma Phi Delta Sorority, Inc, which was founded in 1943 and has around 70 chapters.

Gamma Phi Delta Christian Fraternity was founded in 1988 and according to their website, has only 9 chapters.

You say that (read: I don't care...) an awful lot, yet you go against your own grain by posting. And I know I'm not the only one on GC who told you that.

If I didn't know any better, I'd say you are my own personal groupie. I guess the name calling is actually subtle terms of endearment. How flattering. Why didn't you come to Columbus and meet me in person at least? I'd figure since you go to great lengths to "not care" about my posts, you would at least extend a little common courtesy. Dang.

Just like what you doing right now?

Practice what you preach and stop it with the contradictions, bro.

Furthermore, in this thread, I did do the following:

Answered the OP question and provided objective info and empirical evidence.
