Ok I am a Howard Graduate and a Howard Greek (NPHC).

I wanted to respond to this forum because I've read the articles starting with the Hilltopic that begins, "Why do the Delta's always win the stepshow?..." (unfortunately, I can't recall the true title of the topic but needless to say it caught my attention.)
I believe this was the spark in this fire.

disclaimer
I consider myself a person who wants to know the whole story and I take it upon myself to educate the ignorant. Therefore, whenever someone wants to know about APO or GSS (or any other org) I let them know whatever I have learned (visiting your websites, talking to members, etc.) I try not to pass on wrong information and I strongly believe in greek unity, I mean, we're all fighting the same fight.

However, I did want to comment on one part of the article Ms. Miller wrote...

Realize also, that non Pan-Hellenic organizations are not "fronting like [they] are Pan-Hell." It's clear that they're not. Rather, they are defining their own images, setting their own traditions and building their own legacies. The benefits of being in a non-NPHC organization do extend beyond Howard, just as much as they do if one is a member of the NPHC. Every Greek organization on this campus is a part of a national (or even international) body with tens or hundreds of thousands of members that impact the world outside of Howard.

I don't believe it is very appearent that these historically Caucasian orgs are not "frontin" when they have calls, lines etc. As far as my research has led me to believe white orgs don't do that.

However, I do understand that we took the model of a sorority/fraternity that was put forth and tweaked it to suit us. So it can also be said that you did the same when on a black campus (do you do the same on the PWIs?) And I understand that there's only so much individuality in the world, therefore things are bound to repeat. But understand when things are too similar we tend to get uncomfortable.

Sorry babbling, anyway, please feel free to respond any way you like.
