My point was that the words of Tom Earp can easily be flipped around and it would not make sense because it doesn't make sense. Does that make sense?

Now, Why did I have to explain that to you???:p

dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmb.......

actually, i didn't even read your post

LOL

i just felt like being silly

i can make ducksauce on command. it comes (he he) out of the egg roll.

they can't be like us because we're the model minority. blacks and hispanics should strive to be like the asians.

and own nail salons.

and black hair care stores.

and do math good.

wait.

who is "they?"

Think what you like. It burns me up when I hear "black" and "own culture" in the same sentence.

/end transmission

This is what makes "you people" middlemen minorities and allows "you" the perfect niche in the economy. Go get 'em, tiger!

Luckily, "black culture" doesn't disappear just because some don't understand.

i love it when you talk dirty.

<== making ducksauce as we speak.

Speaking for the NPHC, I think we may have dodged a bullet with this one.

*breathes a sigh of relief*

And by "own culture" some of us mean something deeper than just African American culture. Try African diasporic connections.

It really fits in with everything we've said.

Dionysus was candid about how she went about choosing organizations but I'm much more interested in her conceptualization of self, which also goes back to what we were saying.

I put that in there just for you! I knew your ass would take the bait. I can't help that I'm your favorite SGRho, the one you love to hate!:p

Geesh, Senusret, I think everyone knows that. ;)

I don't hate any SGRho. I just strongly dislike the ones with inferiority complexes who have to lump themselves in with eight other organizations to make themselves feel more relevant.

This is not an organizational problem. This is an individual problem.

Sigma Gamma Rho is perfect. It's the twits that mess it up.

I can buy that there's many black cultures under one umbrella. The part of the "umbrella" you belong to will probably influence which conference of organizations you choose to join...and going buy some of what I read here on GC and PP, which organization within the NPHC you choose to join. I think location matters a lot also. The same person who went to school in Chicago may have a completely different experience with the various Greek systems if they transferred to a school in San Diego.

Didn't I say I put that in there just for you? I was dead serious. I actually think before I write/type.

Now as far as all that other unnecessary isht you wrote:eek:, you said a whole lot more about you than me, especially since you don't know me from jack.

Please find something better to do than e-attack people you don't know.

OK, I have to interject here. We did have an NPHC sorority on my campus. They were part of Panhellenic Council and had vote on sorority campus affairs (and, the service sorority did not) When rush came along, the NPHC chapter participated in the first day. It was 10 minutes of talking with each chapter on campus. When I moved to the NPHC group, I said hello and asked about the sorority. (Keep in mind I knew very little about Greek life and did not know what was the difference between any of the chapters.) The member of the NPHC GLO said I had to be black to join their organization. I responded, oh, can you tell me a little about your org since I have to be here for the next 10 minutes anyway? I sincerely was curious. She said no and the members ignored all of the rushees that were standing there.

That's a different way of saying what I said earlier:

When people begin to overstate the obvious, they overlook the similarities and trends in an attempt to highlight what smart people already know.

(I don't care about organizations anymore so I'm ignoring the rest of your post.)

I agree it's obvious. That's why it's crazy that there's 55 threads about this subject on GC.

Well i really just need some clearance here. How am I nongreek?

man, you need to stop reading my blog. but i havent had any watermelon in a hot minute...
;)
tell em why you mad son! and im so swaggerjackin this ^^^ for my siggy.

ok now youre just being a PITA.

HAHA

:confused:

Nevermind I found it.

This topic of blacks rushing NPC and "selling out" about it reminds me of that episode of Fresh Prince when they rushed.

before you all go rush to youtube:

this might actually sum up the whole freaking thread.

Pantherteke--I haveta be honest, I ain't never met a sistah named Molly... Maybe Michelle, Monique or Mercedes AMG ;) But not Molly... LOL

tld22--as a new grad ad--(my ad-vice :rolleyes: ), the best thing you can do for your sorority sisters is make sure they graduate from college, successfully!!! Use your Sorority's International program objectives to make that happen. One thing that worked for me is review their school schedules and get their parents names, addresses, phone numbers and cells. And give an upfront cost to being a member. Also use your fellow greek advisors from the NPHC. Make the grad council NPHC work together for your organization. Meet with the school admins, meet these "kids" professors, and if you get the chance, have contracts to be signed. Why that is important? When I cleaned up some of my undergrads "academic issues", other NPHC UG greeks and some IFC/NPC greeks started coming to me. My university was NOTORIOUS for alienating ALL GLO's. A more comprehensive program would prove beneficial. And that is how we do it as graduates anyway--or atleast that is what it should be.



Let's set the record straight--NO WHERE IN MY COMMENTS SAY I AM OPPOSED TO ANY BLACK PERSON JOIN THE ORGANIZATION OF HIS/HER CHOICE!!!

What I AM saying is we have these "kids" who see all the hoopla at recruitment. Then they join. Then they see all the NPHC hoopla and wonder why they just did not know. And they slide back to us and wonder why they cannot join--some don't care and K.I.M.

Is that an issue for us? Welp, we keep getting kids posting new threads on GC to pit the IFC/NPC vs. NPHC GLOs... And we have to PLACATE to these non-searching insecure asinine fools. My question is WHY? If dude or chick ain't grown enuf to make a gottdayum decision then they don't know who the fcuk they are!!! PLEASE DON'T JOIN MY SORORITY!!! WE DON'T WANT YOU!!! BE SOMEBODY ELSE'S PROBLEM!!!

I remember the end of this episode when they were all at home...it made me think of a PSA but it's true.

hijack-
I hate that episode. Carlton finds a new way to say "I'm better than you 'cause I'm rich" in every episode, but when people don't accept him because of his wealth (and their accurate perception of his attitude), suddenly its a deep disgusting issue.

I'm sure I'm extremely late, however, I wasn't posing a question, I was answering one. I guess that's what I get for trying to answer a question with a question! Thanks for the comment though. :D

Because people such as yourself panic when you read "black culture" and need to reassert the misplaced "blacks aren't monolithic."

Not to be confused with the bread. Or PETA, who are also a PITA.

Let's take a break.

You beat me to it! :D
