Thanx for the support, Iota4A88F. I had fun researching it!
Now that my conclusion has been posted in the other thread as promised, and IMHO our thread discussion has came full circle (as I figured it would, but was one heckuva lovely ride), I will re-ask my original question I posted in this thread, now that I have everyone's attention:
Would any of the NPHC orgs be willing to merge with a Black non-NPHC org? (merge meaning to adopt some of the other orgs' traditions, rituals, colors, even name, etc.)
Would any of the NPHC orgs be willing to acquire a chapter(s) of a Black non-NPHC org and have them become your org's chapters (keeping your identity fully intact)?
*The following question is related to the previous one*
Would any of the NPHC orgs be willing to absorb a Black non-NPHC org and have them become your org's chapters, again keeping your identity fully intact?
