Cool

I think the NPHC Greeks should exist b/c they give African-American men and women the opportunity to bond in sister/brotherhood while uplifting THEIR community. I think that's wonderful. I also think that other ethnic specific Greeks should exist for the same reason. I don't understand why this is such a BIG deal or a BIG problem w/ some folks. Why can't African-Ams or Latino/as or Asians belong in a fraternity/sorority that uplifts THEIR communities? Why is that wrong?

I also don't see it as segregation b/c these groups are focusing their time and energy on helping THEIR communities. Therefore, of course these orgs are going to be pre-dominantly one ethnicity. That's a given! But they do not exclude others who want to also focus their energy on helping that particular ethnicity's community. So I don't see a problem w/ the NPHC or other ethnic greeks. I don't know...it all makes sense to me!
peace
