I was responding to your comment here:

Organizations develop traditions on top of other traditions, as I mentioned in the incorporated thread. Every Greek organization in this country has borrowed from a previously founded organization, INCLUDING Theta Nu Xi. I do not dispute that. However, that's very different from "stealing" an organization-specific tradition; by that I mean going in and saying, "I like that from Alpha Sigma Tau and I like that from Delta Sigma Theta" as we all have our unique identities. If you look at the way we carry out Greek traditions, you will find that there are differences from the way that NPCs, BGLOs, LGLOs, etc. do things. My organization participates in Greek traditions, but we do not "steal" other organizations' identities.

And, I'll say this here too...my organization is composed of women who were brought up in various Greek traditions. They carry these traditions into their membership in Theta Nu Xi. That is the nature of a multicultural sorority.

...judging by YOUR posts, you have no conception of the idea that NPCs also have something to offer, and that many of us are part of organizations that are well over a hundred years old.
Whoa! Where have you ever seen me make any such assertion?
