I am an Alpha, or member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. On my campus, we have pretty good relationships with IFC members like Delta Tau Delta (note they do not use Inc. and asked us to take it off the flier). In addition to DTD, Tau Kappa Epsilon and others IFC frats have done programs with my college chapter. In my alumni chapter and many others, there is alot of POLITICS, bickering about senseless/useless things among the work we may do in the community.

Do not knock the IFC because as the gentleman said, they prepare the initiates and members IN COLLEGE to be successful in the real world, something HONESTLY we in the NPHC do not do for the most part as a whole! Now, there are some chapters, some states and regions within all our orgs that BETTER prepare us for the REAL WORLD, but most of the time I do not believe this to be the case.

Also, alumni members of IFC orgs DO GIVE BACK, how do you think they have those BIG fraternity houses (in some cases, not all)? The alumni aspect as the gentleman also eluded to briefly is more of a training nature in college and then financial backing on the alumni ranks, so why do they really need grad/alumni chapters? The fact is they don't to serve the function they need. As an NPHC member, honestly ask yourself how hard it would be to get a SIGNFICANT contribution of money from your a) alumni/grad/grand chapter, b) National Organization?

So, I hope I have shed some light on this situation and not upset anyone from the NPHC/IFC/NPC or other fraternities. And yes, some of the founders of my great organization served as waiters and learned many things from the frat boys at Cornell in regards to a fraternity structure. Is it to say we borrowed rituals, or anything else, no that is not necessarily the case or point? It does however show that there is no need to knock the organizations or members, even if they do not know anything about us or our connection to them or similarities.

Woooooooooooooow.............are you serious? What school do you go to?

You sound soft to me. Not as an asshole. I mean c'mon now. We get this from the D9 all the time. Come with something else. And who the f*ck has mixers? LOL. That's not what we do. We serve a specific purpose and we really don't give a damn about any other org (mixers? LOL), or whether or not they see us as a "REAL fraternity". Come again. You're still weak.

1.) Well, good, top tier, fraternities are going to have mixers/exchanges/formals/swaps, etc. etc. Usually involving a soroity of equal standing.

2.) We know that is not what "you do." You play band instruments.

3.) Yes, you do serve a specific purpose...to play band instruments and prance around a football field at half-time.

That was the point that when people of any race speak a certian way other than the correct english it is bad grammar not a race language.
