With all due respect.... and I really mean that.... that is a bad policy which sets a bad precedent. At some point, social fraternities and sororities need to see each other as equals. NALFO, NMGC, NPHC, and NPC may all be different types of sororities, but they are all still general sororities. What is it about non-NPC "otherness" which makes dual membership okay?
It honestly says to me, as a person of color, that NPC orgs which allow this don't take the other orgs or councils seriously. Either that, or don't take themselves seriously. But I doubt it's the latter.
