White men in NPHC

I am sorry, but the way an individual member behaves does reflect on the entire organization. And for the D9, we are judged accordingly. Just ask any of the D9 members who have colors that resemble notorious gangs and when they are stopped because of DWB... If I have not heard or seen it a dozen times after the Long Beach Step Show...

And to be blunt about it: you said "today's society". What does this mean from my perspective? Because, I think "today's society" is just as EFFed up compared to past societies, like my Sorority sister Mom's who got water cannoned for equality or my Dad's who is an Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. member who was arrested and jailed for protesting at a lunch counter...

Today's society is not that much better and whoever says that chit can go EFF themselves. I don't give a crippa crap.

First, the conduct of its individual members reflects on every Greek organization (sometimes all Greek orgs if you’re talking about barbarians' perspectives). That's how it is for all of us, IFC, NPC or NPHC

Second, how on earth is she supposed to know your perspective? I mean honestly. I’ve had long conversations with members of The Movement, one of whom was even a former chairman of SNCC. And after listening to them, I don’t know how you can say things aren’t better. “Today’s Society” may not be perfect, but the generation that was water cannoned and jailed just because they wanted equality made great strides forward. Further, to say “today’s society isn’t much better” is foolish and discounts all that was achieved in the Sixties and Seventies. But I digress, as was previously stated, this is the subject of another conversation.

Only a little bit.

dude...this thread is wearin me out.

I think it's good to have these discussions as long as we don't make personal attacks on people. The only way we will get better as a society is from looking at things from someone elses point of view and stepping into their shoes for awhile.

And anything we say on this site or anywhere else reflects on our orgs whether we like it or not...esp if we have our org in our sig or our username.

It's just life and it's part of being Greek.

I thought only the Kappas that had that rule.

You have not read the entire topic board. If you did, Drollefille and I were have an A and B conversation. Then you chimed in to post your perspective only reading her posts but not mine. That's fine. But your choice to ignore my posts and elevate hers as law? WTH?

And besides, Drolefille knows who I am. She has seen a significant portions of my posts. Whether she agrees with them or disagrees, it is about mutual respect for one's ideas that we have completely lost within the last 6 months of GC. Enough for me to question why I am here at my age and the insanity of it. Young people pipin' up into elder's faces saying ignorant silliness where the older ones are left scratching there heads and saying I've got my anti-hypertensives... It is plainly disrespectful.

As such, I have resorted to "ole skool" tactics that the kiddies don't know about... "Like a 12" cut of disco kryptonite".

If you choose not to read the entire topic or posts, then don't speak on comments when you lack following the conversation. Because context is everything here. If you lack context, you are no longer communicating with an audience.

When one does that, they are being a flummocky baffoon.
