Can we talk or can we talk? Thanks for telling me that tidbit of history about my org. But you have YET to tell the purpose of the NPHC. Yeah, your NPHC chapter is active, cool. What's the purpose? Now, I can find it myself, but I thought that was the purpose of this board. If we can't even cooperatively TEACH one another on a chat board, without throwing around history (somehow, I didn't take that in a positive light), how exactly can we co-sponsor an event?? And for the record, I'm not upset, so please don't misread my tone. I'm just sayin. If we gon' talk, let's talk.

If we spent this much time working on the embetterment of the black community then perhaps we would be somewhere as a people Honestly, I started to post to tell you that you should have learned that during your process, but then I realized, maybe you didn't...maybe the NPHC wasn't stressed for you when you became an AKA...but hey I am just guessing. I realized that shortly thereafter my PLEDGE process that some other greeks did not learn as much about the NPHC or other organizations. I believe it is through knowledge comes understanding and sometimes respect. If you don't understand or respect each other, how can you respect the NPHC? How can you want to do anything joint with anyone else if it's always all about your organization or chapter? This is not just about one individual organization or two...this is about Black people's lack of respect for each other(and sometimes self) in general.

Yes, this is the first time I have heard of organizations purposely sharing a whole week together...but hey, I am not going to knock them. If they have found a good method of unity and mutual respect for each other than so be it. I say that it is a good thing.

We can still be different and share things together. I am nothing like my blood brother(we have fought and argued on many occasions), but when push comes to shove, when we need each other, we are there for one another, and we work together positively, not to mention we don't look a whole lot different from one another.

Maybe it is through perceived differences and divisions that gives some people strength and power, but imo you can celebrate diversity and be individual while joining forces for a common goal.....the betterment of our community. You can't tell me that 2 million people working together is better than 100,000 or 170,000, or 190,000.....b/c I did the math.

It is unfortunate that so many feel like the NPHC serves no purpose...but then why not roll up your sleeves and make it serve a purpose for you. In the words of a Que friend of mind, "Make it Happen!" Why continue to complain about what it hasn't done? If you (all) don't make it happen, who will?
