ummm..
This is funny that this thread was posted.....because I was thinking of asking the same questions....however, i even thought of starting a sorority..one that was philanthropical and professional in nature...I even came up with a name, purpose, colors, and the likes...those things that were important to me...For this particular organization, I had no interest in it being apart of the NPHC or IFC or others. More along the lines of a sorority like Eta Phi Beta, etc. it is something that i have seriously thought about....and still thinking... Don't get me wrong I really would like to be apart of one particular org that exemplifies all of these things...yes I feel that I could accomplish some of the same goals but with limits....and that's where the lines are blurry. For instance, in my org i wanted to have undivided chapters meaning no undergrad or grad chapters just chapters .... certain requirements for membership beyond ethical/moral character, gpa and sorts (although to get in the D9 you need more than that, so i hope you understand what i mean...) and the lists goes on. I do feel from a GDI perspective, that there needs to be a reassessment of how AA org's are addressing the needs of the AA community. So I guess the greater question to ask is are those needs being met? if so then why do people feel the need to start new orgs when they can just work through what we already have than just starting their own....once again JMGDI perspective.
