This is my first day in this chat forum, and I'm floored at this topic! I didn't realize there was so much resentment on both sides. I guess that makes me a naive alumna!

At my school, we had up-and-coming multi-cultural organizations that were oftentimes the most active in our events. We did mixers and other greek week events with them as well. As someone mentioned before, NPC sororities are considered to be traditionally white, this is probably because when they were started only whites were allowed in universities. I'm happy to say, that at least my organization has ignored this 'tradition'. We pledged Hispanic, Asian, and Arab, and I am proud of the diverse faces among my sisters! The only way to get rid of stereotypes is to quit perpetuating them.

Yes, the NPC is a major support for sororities, but obligation is no reason to join. I'm sorry if anyone has felt that they wouldn't be welcomed in an organization because of the color of their skin. I wish you all much luck in your endeavors
