But this reminds me of the quote, "All good things come to an end." I know you all hate to think it, but one day (probably one day very far away but still) one day the NPHC will no longer exist. People change. Their needs, wants, and therefore their priorities change. Good businesses stay in business because they adapt to the market. Sororities and fraternities say that it, being their organization, is also a business, but yet they want "customers" or interests to adapt to them which is fine and dandy but then don't complain that the same tired stuff isn't working anymore. IMHO. That added on to the fact that there are newer and dare I say improved organizations that meet the needs of interests better than traditinal GLOs. You also have to look at things like religion and how greeks are viewed by different faiths. But thats a whole different topic.

I agree with you Newbee, especially with your statement about people and their needs change. I have noticed with some Afr. Ams who are joining Multicultural and Latina orgs have done so because they have many friends who are white or other non-Afr. Am ethnicities who want to be in NPHC orgs but have been told no b/c they were not Afr. Am. I am not trying to bash anyone's org, but this is what I have been told by our new members. This is a new day and people are becoming more diverse and tolerant as well. If I have been friends with an Indian, Caucasian, Asian, and Native American girls and we all rush XYZ org together and we all have service, grades, etc. and they cannot get in b/c of their race, you best believe I will not pledge no matter how much I wanted to be in the org. because their beliefs do not mesh with mine. I have a strong faith in God and I do believe we are all the same on the inside, and ultimately none of us are better than the next regardless of race.
