What would it be like if a group of women (or men!) decided to add on to the legacy of the Divine 9 NPHC fraternities/sororities? Each fraternity/sorority seemed to evolve at a crucial point in American history making great changes and differences that have made an impression not just African Americans but all America history.

With all that is going on NOW in America..I wonder what a new organization's goals and mission would be to help how America is now.


Hmmm...

I'm not a member of a GLO. Which is why I'm here :) to learn.

Oh no! Nothing like that lol. I'd like to learn pretty much all there is to know...

I'm rereading THE DIVINE NINE by Lawernce C. Ross, Jr. For the second time around and I just started wondering...

When I first read it Obama was no where near in office as President...there was no oil spill spreading all around...and 9/11 efforts where at an all time high. So yeah...I'm rereading.

As far as the bolded text goes I was it making a point of all the different historical things that have happened since the D9 formed..

For example:
(from what I read in the book)
Sigma Gamma Rho was founded in Indiana..a state heavily emphasizing on the KKK and of course that's a brave move.

Delta Sigma Theta promoted equal voting rights for black women and marched for the cause not BEHIND white women but BESIDE them.

Of course those type of issues aren't the same NOW. There is a war going on against terrorism and such..which is way different from Civil war back then.

I didn't mean for the question to come off as offensive or to start a debate I just wanted to see what others thought. And yes you have a point that doesn't mean they would be accepted into the NPHC.

The question could just as easily be directed to Mulitcultural orgs or IFC/NPC orgs too..I just suggested the NPHC (and BGLOs) because their doesn't seem to be as many in comparison to the IFC/NPC. By all means correct me if I'm wrong, though. :)

Aren't there some people still referring to "The Great Eight"? Shouldn't that get cleared up first? LOL

That's the point! I wanted to know what OTHERS thought and what THEIR answer would be. You haven't proposed an answer to the question either. I'd like to know what you think since you have more knowledge than I do.

I already answered that question..no Im not. But must I be Greek just to wonder how a new BGLO targetting other things besides education, womens rights, etc. would be like in regards to how America is now?

If you don't want to contribute an opinion pertaining to the question you don't have to say anything.
