Sadly, the knowledge of one another is scarce. Most people don't even realize that we have several NPHC organizations on campus (mostly as city-wide chapters). Last year, Alpha Phi Alpha, Delta Sigma Theta and Alpha Kappa Alpha and I believe Zeta Phi Beta all came and stepped at the Greek Week Lip Synch, but didn't participate in the Lip Synch itself. This year, a rep. from AKA came to Panhel meetings, but none from the other organizations. I'd like to see more joint programs done between our locals and the NPHC Chapters. It seems that we both think the other doesn't want anything to do with us, which couldn't be further from the truth.

woops, sorry. I go to Otterbein College in Columbus Ohio. It's a small campus, about 3200 people and about 35 % of them are involved in the local greek organizations. As far as diversity goes...it's been an issue. That's not to say that people on campus are racist, nothing could be further from the truth. Our campus is very good at accepting all different lifestyles and types of people...but the race subject always seems to create rifts in the ADMINISTRATION, not the student body and no one seems to know how to fix it.
