(drop)
I just wanted to say thanks to all the black women who popped in to give their opinions on being part of NPC orgs for smiley. It's not always obvious who is what in who, and I think it's cool that you all are speaking up for her. I just feel it's a perspective that is good for her (as well as myself) to hear...I have wondered if I was on a campus with nationals, which way I would have gone...I always said it depends on the campus and the chapters, but I never really considered what was said earlier about not being accepted by another chapter of the same letters. As today is still a racially tense time...ahhh... someday
that's all!
greek love!
ps- it is kind of painful to hear/read posts that say "well, there are orgs on my campus that have a few minorities", or "i have a black sister, or two and I love THEM, THEY..."...it's appreciated info, but at the same time it's kind of shallow...one or two out of how many??? And why are they THEY... but, and I deeply stress: ITS GOT TO START SOMEWHERE (integration that is) and I am truly glad to hear it is some places!!! It'll be nice when it's all about an org and not THEM rushing US, or WE don't look at THEM any particular way
