PositivelyAKA:
I am a memeber of a non-NPHC greek-lettered organization, Sigma Alpha Iota International Professional Music Fraternity for Women and I must comment on a few things you mentioned in you post. You stated that you didn't think that these "new organizations" know not to copy colors, calls, or hand signs, etc..., well, I am really tried of people believing that because it has not always been at your university, the org is new. We have this problem at our school (an HBCU), my fraternity's colors are crimson and white and have been since 1903. Therefore, I believe we were around way before any of the Divine Nine. Likewise, with other non-NPHC org, they have been around for a long time (I.E. Phi Mu Alpha founded 1898). My message is to KNOW and then discuss because my org is not trying to be like any other, we are just doing what we love to do, be it stepping, singing, or whatever! Please excuse me if you felt I attacked you, I am just tried of the mentality.
