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?

Didn't the organization you posted about earlier mention NPHC? I was looking at Phi Rho Eta's website and they also mention NPHC. I just found it interesting that non-NPHC BGLOs mention our council on their websites. If they aren't seeking membership...don't like our organizations...why the mention?
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?!?!
