Greetings all...I saw this topic and I had to respond to it.
I am a member of Gamma Sigma Sigma National Service Sorority in Atlanta. Yes, some of my chapters do partake in all apsects of the NPHC (stepping, hand signs and what have you). However, the majority of them do not, and I still embrace them as my sister/soror. I also recognize Alpha Phi Omega as my esteemed brothers of service. While I can write a whole lot on what's behind that relationship, I will say that my sorority was founded because of the willingness of the founders to become a sister organization to the fraternity. Some APO's don't recognize me as their sister and vice versa with GSS (not recognizing APO) but that doesn't mean the relationship between those that DO recognize it isn't there.
I have love for ALL Greeks that uphold the standards which their founders set forth for them. So, although some of the members of black greeks don't care too much for me or my sorority, it doesn't mean I have to get down to their level and not care for them. It's all about who's the bigger person. My GSS chapter is pretty cool with everybody on my campus, so it's all love.
If anyone has more questions let me know
