First of all, I'm sorry but NPHC is different than the NPC/IFC. NPHC are service organizations and
NPC/IFC are social organizations. Maybe it was just on my campus (doubt it) but NPHC worked THROUGH OUT the year with community service projects and putting on educational programs for the campus. It wasn't just a once or twice a year thing. And there is a different expectation of NPC/IFC and other "minority" based GLO. When I talk to people who only know about NPC/IFC greeks and I tell them all of the things I do for my sorority since I have graduated from college, they ALWAYS ask "why are you still doing stuff for your sorority? Aren't you too old for that? But even before I tell members of NPHC, Asian GLO, Latin GLO, or Multicultural GLO (or people who were around those types of greeks) that I'm still involved, they ask me "So what are you doing for your organization?"

Again, you can't say it was racism. I REALLY don't think that his mother would be happy if he joined a black fraternity outside of the NPHC (there are a few). I know a lot of guys that joined non-NPHC black fraternities and they were harassed CONSTANTLY. Most of the time for black parents it's a NPHC vs Non-NPHC and not black vs. white greek.
