SoTrue1920 and Soror TRSimon,
I believe that I was answering Soror TRSimon's original question about providing nalia that represented the diversity of our non- African American sorors and frat brothers. I agree with your comments that we should provide information (brochures, pamphlets, and newsletters) that reflect our non-A A sorors and brothers and by the way chapters of Sigma Gamma Rho on the Northeast region already does this. I also agree with your original comments about companies providing cosmetic products that reflect our culture, however, we are not talking only about providing consumer goods. We are talking about preserving the rich histories of the Divine 9 organization. And I'm still standing by my original post that it's great to be inclusive, however, don't compromise my organization just to make someone feel better about joining it. They know up front that Sigma Gamma Rho, Zeta Phi Beta or the others are
historically African American sororities. I'm not being zenophobic (fearful of foreigners or strangers) or even ethnocentric (believing that my culture or race is better than another) I just want to maintain the rich history of my sorority.
