Is it "I
couldn't get in", or I
don't want to get in? It is an unfair assumption to make by saying those who start these new orgs are only those that couldn't join NPHC orgs, as opposed to those who start orgs because certain elements of the NPHC turned them off. It unfairly puts the whole burden of responsibility and accountability on the individual and none of it on the orgs. Let's not get hasty here, Skee.

Prior to joining AKA, I was extremely active in the community and continue my activism IN ADDITION to the work I do as a function of my membership. People act like they have to be in a sorority to serve the community. You can volunteer for Habitat for Humanity, the Urban League or whomever and still do service without being in a sorority.

That begs the main question in this thread: Why does it have to be an NPHC org or nothing at all? Nobody is addressing this key issue which is in part why these orgs are starting up; to go against the "norm" the NPHC has created.
