If you borrow, just give respect to where you got it from. If you don't know, find out.
Similar to the respect that GLOs that came before the NPHC orgs should be given for the things the NPHC learned and "borrowed" from them.

As far as why NPC members wouldn't just join an NPHC org if they like the way we do things:
Many traditions aren't attached to our specific founding purposes. So women who don't want to be in an organization with a starting purpose of being a vessel for black college women and servicing the black community, don't have to join an NPHC sorority just b/c they like to wear "line jackets" or call each other "sands."
That would be superficial and an insult to the depth of our organizations.
