Finer Woman10-A-91:
That was well said! Thank you for being true to the creed that we must stick together as NPHC members and as Greeks.
To the lady of AKA, all I can say is that the NPHC chapters down there need to do a better job of letting people know what's up. My frat brother's are trying really hard to spread the word, both by roadtripping to various schools and spreading the B&G influence and by stepping at schools without chapters. Just like the "it takes a village to raise a child theory", we must all make a real effort in our NPHC offices to make people aware of ALL the NPHC is about. I know at UVA, we try to make sure everyone knows that there are 9 member orgs. of the NPHC and what these orgs. and the NPHC is about.
The funny thing is that at UVA we call the NPHC affiliated umbrella organization the Black Fraternal Council. Now if we can do that and we are not really the NPHC, then everyone can make an effort to educate and uplift (we don't have to b/c we are not officially "NPHC-sanctioned").
TO ALL READERS of BGLO NPHC affiliation and others:
We all have to remember that we are AFRICAN-AMERICANS and/or well-wishers of our community *non-black members of BGLO's*, so as Greeks we must do our best to uplift ourselves and "each one teach one". Do not make our differences get in the way of the fact that we serve our community first and foremost.
