I am sorry you had a bad experience, but don't push it on every other minority who may be seeking membership in an NPC or NIC organization. Just from what you "said", it seems you were going into this with a less than positive attitude:"I figured I could just depledge"...Well, this sounds as if your whole heart wasn't in it. I have had an excellent experience. I am a national officer and president of my alum chapter. These were not given to me because I am a "token", its because I KICK ASS!
