To the extent that NPHC folk is concerned about the outside world's perception of them and is not willing to share and educate them about their culture, I say....
HECK, YEAH! Serious as a heart attack and a double stroke.
Does NPHC orgs want to show the world their glitter and fluff, or their sho' 'nuff, hardcore, down-to-the-nitty-gritty, SUBSTANCE! Let's face it, the first thing that comes to mind when the term black fraternities and sororities come up is stepping, signs, colors, and calls. If this is not the image NPHC orgs want to portray to the world, then drop it alltogether, and go back to the basics. Heck, by doing that, you'll probably have a Black Greek Renaissance here in America. And on the centennial anniversaries of Black Greek life, no less! Perfect!
BTW, don't do it for me. Do it for those who always saw and thought of you as nothing more than glorified step teams. You'll shock the heck outta them. You'll probably shock the heck outta yourselves too with the renewed perceptions of you.
