And yes for many NPHCs to exist on PWIs, they had to follow the rules of the NPC or IFC.

I never thought about it this way. That's like the episode of Good Times where they wanted Thelma because she was "a black." LOL

What should I flame you on?

(I don't feel like cooking, but if you want Ramen noodles, feel free to come over with your sorors, we can take a picture and submit it to student council to get a snazzy little award plaque.)

*DEAD*

lmaoooo on so many levels, beginning with the Ramen noodles and ending at use of the word "snazzy"

Were they any good? The Dg's that is.

I just found that interesting...

How come I reading this now and still thinking United Kingdom, too. :rolleyes:

ETA: According to the US Supreme Court, there is no need for desegregation.

Snazzy is making a comeback. At least I like to think it is.

Well ASA and DST have that Crimson and Cream/Pearl thing going on, so while you and the boys are strolling and pretending to be unified, we'll have greek unity shooting out the wazzoo.

pretending? jealous, much? :p

Only way I'd be jealous is if you were serving mimosas at brunch. There probably aren't even any cute boys in James' fraternity.

umm, did you not peep the double-edged race/gender collabo i was going for? that's gotta earn SOME snazz in our name.

That's trying way too hard. Not even the ACLU tries to be that PC.

LOL! I remember when they came to the Evans home and said: "We already have an oriental, and a chi-can-a in our sorority..." I went around for a couple of weeks saying, "I am a chi-can-aaaaa." after I saw that episode! :D

And speaking of women not being welcome into sororities (and of GLOs performing together):

Several of my Founding Mothers attempted to sign up for recruitment here in CA in the mid-1980s, but were turned away from the table and told that it was "not for them." This is one of the incidents that prompted them to establish my sorority, which became the first Latina sorority on the west coast, and the third established in the nation. Luckily, my Founding Mothers had support from some of the other GLO members, including the sisters of Delta Sigma Theta on their campus, who were among their greatest allies. The Delta members even invited them to join in a unity step in front of the campus community!:
