Now you have said like three times that you don't care if an African American woman joins NPC sorority, but obviously you do since you keep saying things like "WTH is wrong with you all". I am sure they understand how wonderful your GLO is but there was something about it that didn't seal the deal. It could the size of the organization or just the personalities of the members. Who knows what that thing is but I don't think it is meant for anyone to understand their decision but them.
My schools Greek system has tried numerous time to reach out to the one NPHC sorority on our campus. Panhellenic sent them two dozen roses to tell them good luck with recruitment, we have invited them to participate in our all Greek tailgate, We asked them to participate in Greek Week, We made sure to have representatives from the sororities at their campus wide events to show them support. I know my chapter made it a requirement to go to their probate because they are Greek just like us and we should all support each other in some form or fashion. BUT they didn't come to the tailgate and they didn't participate in Greek Week. So my question for you is how has your GLO outreached to any NPC sororities?

I hear what youre saying, but we've had MANY a thread that have discussed NPHC and (not being able to participate in) Greek Week.
And i can understand AKAMonet, as i will be a graduate advisor for the first time and anticipate similar issues. I can imagine things like participating in Greek Week is minor compared to ... making sure your chapter exists from semester to semester. NPC chapters for the most part dont have to worry about this, even with a constant flow of graduating seniors being replaced with the next year's incoming pledge class. Recruitment is really an all-year thing for many NPHCs, after the informationals are over, after the neos come out on the yard, and all that. The question of chapter longevity is a constant.
In particular to the campus i will be working with, we're not so much dealing with blacks joining NPCs but joining locals. not that there is anything wrong with that, but this school, i think locals pull rank over the NPC orgs in recruitment.
