I find it suspect, too... Hmmmm??? Something more sinister is afoot...

Hey, revoke your membership. But I doubt you will be able to every join another NPHC sorority with all the greeks on your campus not knowing it...

Just by your post, you sound like a T-shirt wearer in everybody's organization... A greek-groupie... Whatever's hype in the season...

Oh well... "de-pledge" if you want to... But, your name will be marked bigtime.

ETA: In the NPHC, we do not touch each other's potentials or interests... Once they have commenced with their membership intake processes, we refrain from trying to lure them away. Forever... Once an interest in one organization, always an interest. Interest RARELY switch traits. If they do, they will get blacklisted and blackballed. That is how it is done now every since the pledging moratorium was lifted in 1990...

It is unwise to broadcast your interest to a NPHC organization without seriously considering how it will change your life...

indeed.

4 days......interesting.

Black Greeks don't de-pledge.

:)

Bringing up race, sad.

Uhhhhhh NPHC Orgs are BLACK GREEK LETTERED Orgs.

I believe you said "Black Greeks don't depledge." State your purpose for such brave statement.

black greeks (i.e. black fraternities and sororities i.e. NPHC organizations) don't depledge. stop looking for something that isn't there.

What black greeks have you come across that have de-pledged?

What's sad about bringing up race? Surely there is a difference between bglos and wglos.

Black Greeks in the NPHC DO depledge. I know some very personally.

I would like to see a statistical study by a government agency citing this very statement b/c I hardly believe it is true. In the century or so that NPHC and NPC/IFC and other types of GLOs that there are, chances are, there have been some African American people who have depledged at one point or another regardless of which umbrella organization you're talking about.

In fact, I would like to offer my own experience with a suitemate who pledged and later decided to depledge her NPHC organization. :)

I think the use of the word "depledge" was incorrect. If the person has not crossed, they are in no position to "depledge" as non-BGLOs generally use the term. ;)

If she had crossed, the use of the term "depledged" would be accurate.

The term "depledge" was misused by the poster my Soror was quoting.

Keep it to yourself.

Another racially sensitive GCer.

Shove it.

Great! Post your findings when you come across them!

Yeah. Just another jokester.

Thanks everybody for the POSITIVE input and also thank you for the negative input that was put in a respectful way (unlike some people). Anywayz, the reason for leaving in four days had nothing to do with the fact that I could not handle what was going on. I left because of all the drama that was going on with the girls who was putting me through the the process. These ladies in this specific organization had so much hatred towards each other and internal drama that it made me rethink my decision. Who need sisters that betray each other and talk behind each other back and they supposed to be sisters? As a Black sister I already deal with alot of drama who need sisters who are going to bring more drama? You join an organization for its postivity and interest in the community! What is so suspect about that????

Not racially sensitive by far, just wondering why he/she had to make some lame statement pertaining to race.

Find bigger things to focus on.

Since the organizations the poster was referencing have unique traditions and practices, I don't think anyone who is unfamiliar with these organizations should comment on the comments being made.

Why did you have to comment?

Yes you are. Does referencing Black Greeks offend you? The young lady made reference to the NPHC. Did that offend you, too?

Get over it.

<--- Black Greek

Well sorry but what you think is pretty irrelevant :(

The poster is trying to get AWAY from this organization, remember ? :)

You're rather lame. Not simply because you want to find another organization, but because you are seeking opinions and guidance on Greekchat.

Get a clue and at least PRETEND that you have researched these organizations on a national and international level.

You are.

She's asking about joining another organization...perhaps an NPHC one. How would you know anything about that? You wouldn't.

nope.. not really.

it's called sarcasm.. I thought you could recognize the gesture. But, alas, I was wrong.

Yeah, really.

Peeps need to quit their bitchin'!

No, cause it's not true, let's be frank here. There have been black greeks that have depledged.

The NPHC isn't all high and mighty, it isn't safeguarded from people finding their fraternity/sorority not for them.

Stop using race cause it's of poor taste.

Jeff

The research has nothing to do with it. I am not down playing the organization, I talking about the women who are making their organization look bad. Doing research and dealing with the girls on campus is too different things. And yes, this is greek chat, but people do not have to reply IF THEY DONT WANT TOO!!!

The NPHC is high and mighty. Get over it.

How about you stop telling people what is of poor taste for them? Or is it hard for you to monitor yourself?

<----black greek

It has everything to do with it.

The ladies on your campus are a small percentage of the TOTAL membership. If this organization is not in your heart, I sense that it isn't since you bothered to raise this issue, that is fine...do you.

But if it is in your heart, there is no reason why you can't wait until later on to pursue membership.

I understand we live in the microwave age where everything is achieved quickly and with ease. God forbid you have to sweat or you encounter people who piss you off along the way.

I assume you have not read MY posts in this thread.

Is your issue with the UNTRUTH of the statement or is your issue with the mention of BLACK? Is it both?

Either way, shove it.

<---- Black Greek

Thank You!

Yeah.

Where I was going with this 98, is that lets say if one day I lost my mind and decided to denounce or de-pledge Delta. There is no way in the world I could becaome an AKA Sigma or Zeta. When the other statements were made, they were worded as such and such de-pledged and joined the organization which suited him/her better. We don't do that.

Word life, because in my chapter, if you tried to pledge another sorority regardless of conference, and then decided on DST, you will not be coming through.
