If we were to be perfectly honest with ourselves, the dismissive remarks are primarily due to no one wanting to own up to their org's shortcomings and inadequacies. NO org is infallible, and when an "outsider" objectively tells it like it is, folk get defensive. That is probably the biggest reason why I haven't joined an NPHC org, I don't want to wear rose-colored glasses.

RM,
Ignorance is bliss to some..and they like it that way. And also, a lot of black members that are in greek lettered orgs didnt really have anything else to define themselves by before they joined, so now they hold on to the orgs for dear life. Some were not pretty before they joined..now all of a sudden they are (at least they think so
)..some didn't do a lick of community service before they joined..now they do.. On one hand this is a good thing..I guess...but on the other hand it says a lot about where these folks get their sense of self worth. All that said, its obvious why no matter what some are not going to admit their orgs shortcomings.
Your points are well taken RM, but you're preaching to the choir here on GC with these particular comments!
