To those saying the NPHC groups didn't particiate in Greek Week, did you or any of your chapter members participate in any activities the NPHC groups sponsored?

I agree, Soror.
1. I observed a general lack of respect for BGLO traditions (on the part of the administration and the PWI student population). There are some differences between NPHC, NPC, and IFC "traditions." When I was an undergrad, we were told "get over it and participate...even when it violates your protocol."
They can kiss my ass on that.
But, we absolutely had FUN with the NPC and IFC orgs. when we DID participate in some things. Our chapter size was always less than 10 Sorors, so we couldn't participate in most things.
2. My chapter was tight with quite a few NPC and IFC sororities and fraternities (we loved Sigma Chi, Kappa Alpha, and Pi Beta Phi, especially...4 years after graduating, I still love ya'll). These were organizations that supported our events and vice versa. But, we would not have been close to them if there had not been a general respect for eachother's traditions, etc.
There was racial tension on our PWI campus, but we were really close to these sorority and fraternity members AS INDIVIDUALS. Once we established basic human respect and love...we just extended that respect and love to our organizational affiliations and started supporting each others' events.
