Shortfuse, I'm afraid your attempt at a rational post came out poorly. I think what you're accusing me of is being ignorant because I don't view them as true greek organizations even when I haven't had a great deal of contact with them. Here is where literacy would be to your benefit. If you reread my posts, you'll see that on several occasions I note that my opinions are just that, and that they are based solely on what I have been exposed to. AT MY SCHOOL, NPHC groups are only the same or less likely to do charitable work. We don't really have any multi cultural groups, and if we do they obviously have little influence. On a similar note, the one or two local groups we have do not have any influence, prominant alumni, or history to speak of. Thus, I do not consider them on the same level with the large historic IFC and NPC groups who have all of those aforementioned qualities. I think my interpretation of NPHC groups, or classification, would have to be something more like "black greek life," because it is so distinctive from most IFC and NPC groups I've been around. If they want to term my way of greek life "white greek life" they can, although I imagine we've been at it longer. It is all based on perspective, so my interpretation of what greek life is need not offend anyone, as it is not intended to do so.
