I attend a Big Ten university, and I also thought that NIC/IPC/NPC groups were only collegiate, and I'm glad that the people who explained it on this thread were patient and understamding of our misconceptions.
I have a question and comment:
1) Are these groups service organizations or social organizations?
NPHC orgs are service organizations, but race/culture is a factor for these orgs. My sorority, Alpha Kappa Alpha, provides service to all mankind. However, one of our pillars is service to the Black family.
We have members who are non-black, as a matter of fact, my chapter president when I crossed was hispanic and white. But she knew that one of the things that made our org. different was service to the Black community, and she wanted to be apart of that.
***There is another connection I would like to make, but my French class starts soon!! I'll think about it, and see if I can write it in a w way you all can understand!!
