Well, I think that IFC and NPC councils have to understand that the affliates of the NPHCs are overseen by the graduate/alumni chapters, which may be extremely active in the respective community. So there may be gala events that must be supported by the undergraduate NPHC affliates.

If I were you, I would contact the affiliates sponsoring graduate/alumni chapters. Then, if you do so, you all are going to have to come to the table with something reasonable.

Loooonnnnngggggggg time ago, there was an ALL GREEK TOGA party on San Diego State University's campus. Councils made mad money. It was sometime at the start of school before Recruitment.

This year, it cannot be done. But, you all may want to have your college involved and tag the NPHC affiliate philanthropies and have their strong voice represented.

Do not just call them, do not just send invites/evites or emails. You MUST venture on their turf, show you mean business. If that means you visit with the guests in the Senior Citizen Home, that means you do it. If that means you go to a Missionary Baptist Church all day on a Sunday--guess what!!!

If you are serious about reaching out, then you cannot be scared.

PM me if you want more ideas.
