As far as feedback from other African Americans, I find that some seem to think that I owe them an explination why I joined NPC and not an NPHC. I have been accused of trying to be white, being a sell out, and so on.
I find it ironic that the same people(in my case, members of BGLO's) who would complain about there not being enough minorities in the NPC/IFC houses, would be the first to put down and/or ostracize those who would dare to attempt to join such organizations.
I did find out though, who were/are my real friends throughout the process.
As a side note, I also seem to find that the BGLO members have this attitude that only the "rejects" should join the NPC houses. By that I mean if they(bglo's) feel you're not the right type for them, then the NPC should be you second choice. I say this from experience.
I have to admit though, it makes me a stronger person.
