I don't find the requirements harsh. I think they make sure that any organization that comes into the fold has a solid foundation and will have a productive future. What's wrong with that? |

OK, a'ight, I concede that such a criteria is doable and attainable. By the same token, I don't see any of the orgs busting their tails to meet this criteria just so they can join the NPHC (not that any org should do such a thing). I think to be honest, the younger orgs do not want to join the NPHC because IMO the "established" orgs and the younger orgs come from two different schools of thought when it comes to inter-organization affairs, policies, and politics. |

I wasn't trying to generalize ALL Black non-NPHC greek lettered organizations. But I've noticed that more often than not they make reference to our council. For whatever reason we didn't meet their needs. So why would they want to join our council?? I understand that you weren't trying to generalize all Black non-NPHC GLOs, but let's try to find a common denominator in all this: Which orgs were these? How old were they? My point of all this is, if these orgs were founded in the last 5-7 years, then they are still young orgs and I am not concerned so much with them. My primary concern is with orgs at least 20 years old (founded no later than the mid 1980s). Were these orgs started PRIMARILY b/c the NPHC didn't meet their needs? If so, then maybe your point is a little more legitimate. If not, then that's another issue altogether--no more different than why Iota was founded. I don't find the requirements harsh. I think they make sure that any organization that comes into the fold has a solid foundation and will have a productive future. What's wrong with that? I guess my question is, if they are solid enough to be part of the NIC, then what is the real issue at hand? |
Seriously guy, did one of these orgs not invite you to join or something? You seem to be highly critical of them and their policies.
And like it or not, these groups represent the best and brightest of the African American community, hence the "Divine 9". |

In that case, the NPHC requirements are justifiably stringent. Tenacity has to be proven. :) |

Whether they attain it or even care to do so is their business. |

I became critical of them the day I was approached by one of their members for the 50th time being told that I couldn't do this, that, or the other, because that was something reserved for the NPHC. I then looked this character dead in the eye and said, "Bull$#!t! Watch me!" and walked away. I then resolved to never again validate or dignify the so-called power they claim to possess on a college campus. And like it or not, these groups represent the best and brightest of the African American community, hence the "Divine 9". *LOL* Very amusing. Quite a sense of humor there, Jocelyn. I like that. You're all right with me. But seriously, all jokes aside, if that was the case, why didn't you join an NPHC org if you hold them in such a high regard? |

In regards to Iota...I dunno...I wasn't greek during that expansion so everything I know is second hand information. I think they are a wonderful organization. And the other part of me feels that the council has some things it needs to work on before it expands... Who's coming to the NPHC Convention in Chicago this October?!?! |

I don't know what Rain Man's tangent is about. He already admitted the requirements are attainable. There are BGLOs that are over 20 years old but are almost nonexistent in terms of membership. Should they be allowed in the NPHC, too? |
