Yes, that was an approach taken by many women, in general. So was this part of a larger sorority initiative or did the women who ended up in college just so happen to found or join sororities? There's a difference.

Some of you are acting shortsighted and dense.
Once again, there were NPC, NPHC and nonaffiliated women involved in the equality movement in various ways at the local and national levels. Including and beyond their campuses. If that acknowledgement is "downplaying the NPC's involvement" rather than challenging us to acknowledge and discuss the NPC's (NPHC's and sororities', in general) involvement then you all are really special.
