I'm not getting into any hole. I have much class. But I'm outspoken - If I have something to say, I'm going to say it.
As far as insulting them, I don't see how. Had I called out the organization, then that is getting messy. However, I did nothing of the sort.

I can only speak for my organization, but I received that "rite of passage".
Like someone said, it seems as if you are looking to replace that experience with a new one, one that you can control of aspects of. That's fine if you want to do that, but then don't be upset if people question your motives.
Another question: On your website under the FAQs, you have stated that your org has a call, handsign, steps, etc. You've already claimed on this board that your main goal is to uplift the Black community. How does a handsign and a call do that? To many (and others may feel this way as well), there are a million groups that claim to be so different from NPHC orgs, yet they latch onto these traditions that apart of NPHC culture. So if you want to be so different from NPHC orgs, why do you need a call, handsign, etc.?
