It is to laugh . . .
Here's the deal - we are not threatened, we are amused. Check out the thread from the beginning. The only people who appear to be threatened are those members who joined this forum for the sole purpose of posting to this one topic. The rest of us - hey, we have a sense of humor, and if you chose to put forth something on the internet that is ignorant, ill-conceived, or self-righteous to the point of lunacy you've got to understand that people will laugh.
I am proud to be both a Christian and a member of the NPC. I've never dragged myself home after partying all night to go to church and thought that made me a good Christian. I am but a poor sinner doing the best I can with God's help.
I am proud that the founders of the NPC sororities paved the way for all women in higher education starting over 140 years ago. Some of those young women were only teenagers, yet their ideals and principles have enabled them to grow, prosper, and give back to the tune of millions of dollars and thousands of hours of service every year.
I am proud that they formed Christian, Jewish and non-sectarian orgs that allow women to improve themselves, their community and their world, no matter what their beliefs. I am proud to have learned more about my NPHC "cousins",whose founders overcame prejudice and lack of opportunities by banding together and making a positive difference in the world. They have grown beyond HB colleges and universities because what they offer is not based on skin color, but on character and worth.
I know of many godly women in both groups. To argue otherwise is to base your understanding on stereotypes, which is ignorant at best, stupid at worse.
Instead of enhancing your "G"LOs newly-forming reputation, you've established it as a group of holier-than-thou DIVAs who use prayer as a form of put-down. Nice.
If you don't care what we say or think, then why join our established forum and come in and comment? Just ignore us . . .as I assure you, after we have our little laugh, we will you.
