To respond to your last statement...

For your information, I am very much a supporter of our current Commander-in-Chief, President George Bush! And no, I am not in the group of African-Americans/Blacks who have made and/or necessarily agree/disagree with the statement "George Bush hates black people".

But to the issue at hand, my point was before stating that only IFC and NPC organizations are the only TRUE greek organizations, whether it is of interest to you or not, RESEARCH will show you that NPHC organizations are very much TRUE greek organizations and do more than just party and socialize. As you have mentioned, your opinions were formed based on what you were exposed to. I'm asking you/more like presenting to you, go beyond your exposure level...branch out, research....That will help you in your irrational thought process!

You don't have to become a part of an organization to inquire about their activities, their service, their history. Of course, in all things there are some things that will not be available to the public...however, there is no doubt in my mind that they wouldn't help you see "the big picture", eliminating the clouds that stand in front of you.

For your information check out the founding dates for the NPHC organizations:
Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Cornell University, 1906
Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Howard University, 1908
Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Indiana University, 1911
Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Howard University, 1911
Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Howard University, 1913
Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Howard University, 1914
Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Howard University, 1920
Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Butler University, 1922
Iota Phi Theta Fraternity, Morgan State University, 1963

Role models, community activists, entertainers, politicians, relationship builders, life changers, physicians, lawyers, etc....all have emerged through the influence that members of these organizations have had and will continue to have.

So my question to you...what makes the NPHC organizations any less GREEK than IFC/NPC organizations?
