No such thing and people who actually pay attention know this.

Because? Do you know why not or do you assume why not?

In the racial/residential segregation literature this is considered a surface level integration because the fraternity and sorority row will strategically never go beyond the "tipping point" of 1 or at the most 2 BGLO organizations. This "tipping point" will shape the extent of all interracial and interorganizational interactions--since NPHC fraternity presence on fraternity row was the metric for integration in your mind.

I remember when I got called an "ethnic" by someone on GC.

The guy who called me that is no longer alive.

No, I don't know why. You're NPHC, can you tell me? Or do you even know yourself?:rolleyes:

I haven't been nominated the voice for the NPHC or even black people yet. Those elections are coming up pretty soon. Stay tuned.

As for why MY chapter and other chapters that I personally know of, it has had to do with having 10 members versus the 50 to 100 members that the NPC and IFC organizations had. It's not fair to expect us to make the same 5 or so people whose schedules we can coordinate do Greek Week when other organizations have a long list of team members they could choose from and rotate.

That and some schools' events were perceived as being contrary to the NPHC orgs' practices. The only example I can think of was the Greek Week practice of wearing official pins across campus on certain days. Many NPHC chapters refused to, especially since the Greek Office tried to dictate how it should be worn so folks could see it. We'd rather wear unofficial pins or other letters.

Exactly, the biggest NPHC group on my campus is the AKAs and they attempted to participate in greek week but it was too much for them. They have about 30 members but compared to the 50 and 60+ membership of the NPC sororities they simply couldn't compete with them in some of the events. So it is very understandable why they wouldn't compete.

I think that's a poor excuse because on my campus the numbers are not that far off.

The point that people are trying to make is that maybe you should ask members of NPHC on your campus before assuming that they just want to stick to their own.
