Perhaps I'm too idealistic, but I'd love to see XYZ invite ABC to their event. ABC cannot attend, but replies and suggests another possible event. Crazy huh? I wish that sort of invitation had been offered to our chapter when Sigma Gamma Rho had an event at Harris Stowe. And I do wish that our campus had worked more to get the NPHC groups some sort of campus status so the invitations could have worked the other way too.

But the websites do tell you what our programmatic thrusts are, which is my main point.
Dang Harris Stowe. I was homesick for a second there.
But now I see what you mean about the citywides--I forgot you were in the Lou.
The ironic thing is our Alpha Omega chapter started as campus-based at Harris, but Wash U., STLU, Webster, Fontbonne, etc. would not allow chapters, so Alpha Omega was redesignated (by Delta) as a citywide because we wanted to encompass as many African American women as we could. At the time Harris Stowe still recognized us as a campus org and we were able to use the facilities, etc. (I was a member while I did my college internship at home.)
Delta at one time also had a campus-based at UMSL, but it dwindled and they too became part of Alpha Omega citywide.
Here in the Twins, our collegiate chapter is also a citywide. But since the members of the chapter who attend the U of M (the majority) pay student fees, the chapter can function as if it was based at the U.
