While you stress this all encompassing commitment to diversity, not in membership but in traditions and practices, it is interesting that your National Website does not reflect that at all.
As JayBEE pointed out, there are some APO/GSS chapters who have been ding it for a long time and unless you were there you cannot tell me that it came from some other desire than to do what they saw other GLO's with Black people in them doing any more than I can definitively tell you it came from some such a desire.
You have not clearly addressed the issue of the need for acceptance although it has been posed several times. Again, why the need?
Also, why the need to put so many characteristics of us "social" orgs in your service org (although social is a misnomer to me because Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. is a service sorority.)
You say the root of the issue is unknown to you but the issue raised has to do with stepping, strolling, etc. You call it trivial and bullcrap but that is not petty stuff and worthy of taking up the time of your or our National Officers? PUHLEAZE! Honestly, you would have to come a little better than your kids don't want to play with my kids or they don;t like our toys for me to believe this requiresthe involvemlent of anyone's NAtional HQ. This seems to be a local issue exclusive to those campuses where APO/GSS are sen as trying to represent like other BGLO's. Deal with it where it matters.

OK, Kimmie, now I can address your concerns by paragraph:
P1 - Believe it or not, I agree with you, and that is something I and other brothers have tried to demonstrate to Nationals, but to no avail (Hey, we aren't perfect either!)
P2 - In all fairness, unless we can get confirmation one way or another from those who were there at the time, none of us here can say anything; at this time it is all pure speculation.
P3 - Because to be frank, I don't like my org being treated as a second class org. And I don't like the vibes I get from folx that my pledging was any less important or meaningful than theirs. I put my pants on the same way as everybody else.
P4 - Because I was brought into the fold under that premise. 'Nuff said.
P5 - If you would like a copy of the letter our M&E sent out to the NPHC, email me.
