There are folks out there who have more loyalty to their chapter than to their organization as a whole to even think about unifying in any way. Folks have a problem unifying within their own orgs, how are they ever suppose to unify globally with others outside their org. Yes you will find campuses where the greeks have mutual respect for each other and work well together, but still too many people walk around with that "Our Kind of People" attitude. There is far too much disrespect, belittling, and animosity amongst indivduals. The relationship between orgs differs from school to school and state to state, I don't believe the purpose of NPHC will ever truely be acheived. The few NPHC meetings I've attended, as a member of a grad chapter, I still see folks walking around with that better than thou attitude. I think it's human nature for the "perceived" big man to try and step on the "perceived" little man. You can see it in all aspects of life, not just greek. We have much work to do in terms of unifying as a Black people first and foremost, so we can't really expect to see such unification in smaller arenas such as the greek world. In some ways the greeks world is a smaller representation of the bigger picture.
