You continue to not understand what my statements were regarding...I have continuously stated that these are merely my opinions of what a "true greek life" is. Just as I think most greek life in the north east isn't the same as what I consider greek life, it is also different amongst NPHC groups. I'm not saying they are "lesser" greek organizations, I'm saying I don't really view them as greek organizations. When I think of greek life, I think of classic, historic groups of men and women on major campuses who use their time in the organization to form valuable bonds and to act almost as a sort of cotillion, to bring them up into a classy and mature adult world. I am sure that many good and successful people come from NPHC groups. I'm trying to think of a comparison...alright...when we (southern people) refer to greek life at big universities, there is often confusion. People will think we are referring to any state school, such as Oswego State, Wisconsin, etc, when in actuality we have taken the phrase "big state school" to refer only to the big SEC greek schools where classic greek life thrives. Likewise, I have somewhat taken "greek" to mean what I consider to be the truest form of greek life. Now that may sound selfish or narcisistic, and it might be, but it is just my opinion. Doing so makes no statements about NPHC groups, other than they are quite different than any greek organization I would be interested in joining. I know this is probably confusing, but it is just difficult for me to refer to NPHC groups as in the same overall catagory as my GLO, as I'm sure it may be weird for NPHC members to include themselves in any catagory with me. I think a phrase like student life groups would be helpful for me...
