Hello roses1992,
You brought a concern that another new member had here to GC, and reported that you had a discussion with a family member over your personal choice to join an NPC sorority rather than an NPHC sorority. Well...
Part of becoming an adult is making decisions and standing by those decisions (or not, if you decide that you made a bad decision!). You get to own your own behavior. This is Adult 101, first lesson. I don't see any insults to anyone in the situation as you've described it. The trouble comes when you expect other people to think/do/say/feel a certain way. That's the road to sheer madness.
I count myself fortunate to have friends in all GLOs, including the Divine Nine, and they are most welcoming when I attend their events or support their philanthropies. If you are not comfortable with other GLO events, then simply stay away until the time comes when you feel comfortable enough to respond to others in a way that reflects positively on your organization and yourself.
side note: Theta does not have "babies"; I'm searching for the recent reference that addresses this. You are a new member, not a baby anything! Every time I hear Baby Theta I think of Baby Beluga or Baby Huey. It is just wrong, and Bettie Locke Hamilton is rolling in her grave.
ETA: why is this in the recruitment forum?
