OK, just to show everyone I do have a heart, I will make a confession: There is one element of the NPHC that I have secretly always admired and will always be remembered in my heart until the day I die:
The NPHC orgs can tho' down some of the most krunkest parties I have ever attended in my life. I was listening in my car Old School Sunday on the local hip hop station, and I had caught some major Greek party flashbacks listenin' to some of the tunes from the early and mid 90s. Whoo! I was always the first to show up to the party and the last to leave.
Notable parties I attended:
OSU Block Party, 5/15/92 (I was a week-old neo and it was off the chain!)
Fall 1993 Icebreaker, 9/25/93; held on the same day as the Capital City Classic, was also on my 20th birthday.
Alpha Phi Alpha State Conference Weekend, weekend of 11/19 & 11/20/93. Party at the Hyatt Hotel went until 4 a.m.
Iota Phi Theta Winter 94 Icebreaker, 1/7/94
Kappa Alpha Psi One Nation Under A Groove Jam, 1/19/94. I rode my bicycle in single digit weather to an off campus party house and it was WELL worth the trip!
Delta Sigma Theta Crimson and Cream Ball 5/13/94 - I took a cab ride to catch this party and sported my brand new $120 fraternity badge and had an awesome time. I have a pic of me at the event I might upload at a later time.
Delta Sigma Theta Crimson and Cream Ball 5/2/97
OSU African American Heritage Festival 5/14 & 5/15/99 – Gamma Sigs representin’ on OSU’s campus for the very first time. Also numerous APO brothers were in attendace.
Delta Sigma Theta Crimson and Cream Ball 5/11/01 - 'Cause I met CT4 there
OSU African American Heritage Festival 5/19/01 – My last Greek party I attended. It was outdoors and it was COLD (39 degrees), but it didn’t keep folk from representin’. Me? I had a cup of hot delicious Tim Horton’s coffee and I was ret’ to go.
Sorry for the hijack, yall; but I didn’t want anyone to think I felt that I was totally against NPHC orgs, because that’s not true at all.
Carry on…
