Where are the programs to promote AIDS awareness? Where are the voter registration and mobilization programs? Where are the community outreach ventures?
If the interactions among NPHC and IFC/PHC organizations has yet to go beyond social activities like dancing, stepping, etc., you all are not actually "getting along" all that well. You are merely tolerating each other's existence.

I guess my campus would be the exception then... most likely because we really don't have an IFC... we only have a GFA (Greek Fraternal Association) which basically handles Greek Week and each term's charity that all GFA events raise for...
No greeks really handle AIDS awarness - done by the many school and governmental orginizations on campus.
No greeks handle voter registration (for the most part LCA, DKE, AEPi, and APhiA all had volunteers out helping for the last US election) - everyone is pretty much automatically registered by the government, it's just a matter of confirming place of residence (for ridings).
Tthere is no real "outreach" program orgainized on a grand scale - each GLO handles it's own particular philanthropy and charity iniatives, which in turn target specific community goals or needs... if you mean the "black" community - APhiA, DKEs, DUs, and Sigma Chi's all were on last years Black History Month commitee, and were vital in forming some of the more recent "black" students groups on campus.
Finally I'd love to see what "stepping" is - and why it is such a big thing mentioned here on GC... but there hasn't been anything like that here as far as I know...
