I personally could care less about any other organizations. I respect them all, but outside of Masonry and Alpha Phi Omega...I could give a hoot about what something stands for in another organization. Umm, next topic!

TOO LATE...

By responding to this you've proven just that. YOU DO CARE.


Have a nice day.

oh yeah, Phi Beta Sigma does not recognize a Zeta Phi Beta Sigma.

but it's something the undergrads say or do when they both host a party or a joint venture. It's like a catchy slogan.

Given my choice between finding out what happened to Durham College and finding out if your friend has asked for info on restarting Tau Delta @NCCU, I'll take the second. :)

MHO a little long
 
Ok I am a Howard Graduate and a Howard Greek (NPHC).

I wanted to respond to this forum because I've read the articles starting with the Hilltopic that begins, "Why do the Delta's always win the stepshow?..." (unfortunately, I can't recall the true title of the topic but needless to say it caught my attention.)
I believe this was the spark in this fire.

disclaimer
I consider myself a person who wants to know the whole story and I take it upon myself to educate the ignorant. Therefore, whenever someone wants to know about APO or GSS (or any other org) I let them know whatever I have learned (visiting your websites, talking to members, etc.) I try not to pass on wrong information and I strongly believe in greek unity, I mean, we're all fighting the same fight.

However, I did want to comment on one part of the article Ms. Miller wrote...

Realize also, that non Pan-Hellenic organizations are not "fronting like [they] are Pan-Hell." It's clear that they're not. Rather, they are defining their own images, setting their own traditions and building their own legacies. The benefits of being in a non-NPHC organization do extend beyond Howard, just as much as they do if one is a member of the NPHC. Every Greek organization on this campus is a part of a national (or even international) body with tens or hundreds of thousands of members that impact the world outside of Howard.

I don't believe it is very appearent that these historically Caucasian orgs are not "frontin" when they have calls, lines etc. As far as my research has led me to believe white orgs don't do that.

However, I do understand that we took the model of a sorority/fraternity that was put forth and tweaked it to suit us. So it can also be said that you did the same when on a black campus (do you do the same on the PWIs?) And I understand that there's only so much individuality in the world, therefore things are bound to repeat. But understand when things are too similar we tend to get uncomfortable.

Sorry babbling, anyway, please feel free to respond any way you like.

I had the chance to read your organization's mission statement and it clearly states,

* Encourage a closer and mutually beneficial working relationship with fellow Greek-letter organizations, other community service organizations, business and government.

Do you honestly think that you are upholding your organization's mission by disregarding other organizations? Think about it!


DOH!:eek:

Yeah they did a poor job of editing...because they said that the article was too long... the hilltop also neglected to state that it was my opinion and not that of the fraternity or chapter.

Actually, I believe that since it was in the editorials section that the Hilltop does state that it was your opinion. I could be wrong.:D

But I will indulge you on the second letter. That letter was written after the response to the first letter from someone within APO. Plain and simple. Once again APO took the first letter as an offense when your org was NEVER MENTIONED IN IT. The second letter was the brother's defense for a chapter member. Do I condone it? NO I don't because I don't believe in writing back and forth over a dead issue. A issue which is dead becasue APO was never mentioned in the first article. I would've laugh it off and kept it moving. But that's just me personally.

So can we all be in agreement that APO wasn't being dissed (having it's legitimacy challenged) in the first article (maybe the second one but I didn't see it) adn say that this thing got started over nothing?

ACTUALLY.....

The member of APO responded to the article as an INDIVIDUAL, not as a REPRESENTATIVE of APO...the hilltop just choose to let everyone know what org. she was a member of. Therefore, APO did not take it PERSONALLY until the next sigma decided that ONE PERSON spoke for our entire organization!!!!!

Love you News @ 9

Normally yes, the hilltop does state that writer's opinion is theirs alone, but the Hilltop has fell off when it comes to journalistic integrity so you always have to make sure, just in case....

As a former writer for the Hilltop, I can agree on that.
