SkeephistAKAte and others who feel like her,
I totally understand what you mean in terms of why is it that when the NPHC is recognized, it is primarily for the stepping that we do and not for the commitment to our programmatic thrusts or philanthropic endeavors. I understand, respect, and agree with your views.
It is rather disheartening that the Greeks orgs do not come together, NPC, IFC, and NPHC as well as other Greek councils that I do not know the names of, and do a Habitat service project or domestic violence or where ever your org's service interests lie.
However, to question an org's process or what history they learn is not called for. NPC orgs are different from NPHC orgs, plain and simple. Bridging the gap is great, but stepping should not be the only way that it is done. Our orgs all have SERVICE at the heart of the org, let that be where we come together, not stepping.
