I am offended by her lack of respect and I am not a member of any of these orgs. To belittle them by calling the NPHC world "liitle", and implying insignificant...tells me she doesnt truly understand what it means to be Greek.
4. Why shouldn't the non-NPHC orgs work with NPHC orgs? If you truly feel that issues like this are important and want to stop them from happening again...some workshops, prgrams, joint service projects SOMETHING needs to happen! Just sitting back and setteling for some old jim Crow-ish seperation is backwards...and I say Jim Crow, because based on this article, it sounds like shefeels this is a Black Greek vs White Greek thing
5. I truly suggest that whoever doesn't know about the history of any of the NPHC orgs, go and look up their info and learn...I have spent the past two months learning about several otehr organizations that I may never have even given a second thought to...and I must say that many of them sound very interesting..and I would never have known about them had I not done my research.
Ignorance isn't bliss...it's the crap that lowers the national average of intelligence....

Well said. Joint projects or joint meetings (Sorority Council vs. just NPHC or just NPC) go a long way to foster relationships. Even though predominantly white or black greek orgs. tend to be just that on certain campuses, it doesn't mean that the groups can't work together on philanthropy or other projects.
This is also a good way to make friends, build relationships, and understand each other. After all, college should be about learning to live with others and understanding how we are like other people and how we are different. This is what prepares us for that nebulous world called 'real life'.
