WHY SO MUCH HATE FROM D9?????
 
I JUST BECAME A BROTHER OF A MULTICULTURAL FRATERNITY, THIS PAST SUMMER AND I NOTICED THAT D9 MEMBERS AREN'T TOO FOND OF MINORITY GREEKS WHO DO NOT GO AND PLEDGE D9 ORGS, WHY IS IT THAT THEY ARE SO BITTER ABOUT ORGS WHO WERE FOUNDED AFTER THEIRS AND WITH DIFFERENT PRINCIPLES. LAST TIME I CHECKED THERE ARE EVEN SOME ORGS THAT WERE FOUNDED DUE TO THE FACT THAT A D9 ORG'S CERTAIN CHAPTER DID NOT WANT HISPANICS OR ASIANS PLEDGING THEIR FRAT BACK IN THE 80'S. IN THE END I THINK ALL GREEKS ARE IN THIS FOR THE SAME THING: SERVICE, BROTHERHOOD, BETTERMENT OF SELF AND NETWORKING....NO NEED FOR HATE..AND LATIN FRATS AND MULTICULTURAL FRATS WE NEED TO UNITE ALSO AND CUT OUT THE NONSENSE..NONSENSE GETS US NO WHERE

Typing in all caps is just rude and annoying.

So is generalizing all the NPHC groups with such a broad brush.

Why are you shouting? I'm happy that you made it in to your org of choice. It appears that the other issue is one that is close to your heart,but there are other(less aggressive ) ways to express yourself.

So step away from the keyboard, take a walk or something,and chill. When you've pulled yourself together, come back and we can have a normal (non-caps) conversation.

love,
me

Sorry for typing in caps didn't notice I was, I'm not angry and I'm not screaming either, not all d9 members are bitter about minority greeks going outside the d9 orgs but, there are a few members out there who feel this way, some in my school

This has been done. Try searching for similar threads.

Since we're asking why...

Why do newbies coming posting the same questions over and over without checking out similar threads?

This isn't D9 hating, it's GC annoyance.:rolleyes:

This attitude makes multicultural Greeks look bad. D9 Greeks probably aren't as pressed about you as you are about them. And, if there really are D9 (or any Greeks for that matter) that don't respect what you're about, why do you care? Focus on your own organization and take your own advice, "NONSENSE GETS US NO WHERE."

I wonder which organization the original poster is a member of.

It would seem that he's a member of a historically-multicultural GLO since he made a distinction between multicultural and Latino groups. I'm afraid to find out what org this is though.

And, yes, multicultural-founded groups have to use the term "historically-multicultural" now because everyone and their mama seems to want to claim multiculturalism these days. :p

Why does it seem like we get this question on GC like every year? This, and the ever popular question from service/music/other greeks, asking "why don't the greeks at our school consider us real greeks like them?"

Why do you care?

It's a recurring problem.

Why do you care?

The question I have is why do jokers come on here (who claim to be in college) asking about greek membership, when they can just ask the greek members at their school? On top of that, I hate it when a joker with one post sends me a PM asking about Kappa.

Same ol' same ol' different day.

If you just crossed, you need to sit back and enjoy your time as a neo. I'm all for Greek unity, but if an organization is giving you nothing but negativity, don't waste time worrying. Just do you and let them worry about themselves.

As others have stated, though, chances are the D9 organizations aren't thinking about your organization the way you think they are.
