Promised myself that I wasn't going to jump in this one
. Sigh. This was an innocent question originally. I would think that most National GLO's are incorporated, and that incorporation means the same for all.
Regarding NPHC orgs (particular sororities') use of the term "incorporation":
For those that think they hear "arrogance" when a member of any NPHC sorority states the name of that said organization...that "arrogance" is not (or should not be) directed at other GLOs--in fact, it has nothing to do with other GLOs, non-Greek affiliates or anyone else at all. The best way I can describe it is:
To understand the history or tradition of any one NPHC Sorority, it is sometimes necessary to understand something of the history of ALL NPHC Sororities.
Those who know my posts know I am usually pretty free giving information, but this is really one of those cases where it's not so much a secret, it's a specific tradition born of our collective and individual histories. Those of my sister-sorors who understand what I'm talking about (and many of you do, based on your posts—it’s just difficult to articulate) can understand what I'm getting at here.
Best,
a member of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Innnnncorporated!
