The difference is that we do make some decisions together regarding those things that all of the orgs agree is best for all of us. All of the orgs felt that the auxillaries (particulary the sweets of the fraternities) were no longer serving their intended purpose and had turned into nuisances and liabilities. The negativity associated with them was also not a good image so the orgs collectively decided to ban them prior to Iota joining the NPHC in 1996. Iota decided to keep their sweets and other orgs could have made the same decision but we collectively agreed on the outcome.

Because of the long history of the NPHC and the cohesiveness between our orgs, we are still likely to think of what's best for all of us when it comes to certain things...since we are peers.
Thank you very very much!! To all of you ladies, its the best answers to that question that Ive heard yet!!! I understand now!!
