We're just tired of the stereotypes and tired of people presenting themselves as the anecdote to NPHC greekdom. If you have a new organization, then talk about why you're great...not about why we're so wrong or don't "fit" you because there are plenty of NPHC members that will tell you that people act so surprised when they tell them that they're in XYZ sorority or fraternity.

When I talk about why I joined Sigma Gamma Rho, I just talk about Sigma Gamma Rho. I don't talk about why I didn't pursue DST, ZPhiB, or AKA. No one really wants to hear why you didn't join their organization...it puts people off and makes them think that you (like so many others) are ruled by stereotypes. And this may not be what you mean, but new orgs on greekchat have a history of presenting themselves as the alternative to us...and it's getting old and tired.
Okay, I understand what you're saying. But, I didn't come on here and do any of that, so that can't be why I was targeted.
