BGLO and Other GLO Relations on YOUR Campus?

Im a graduate of Purdue University and there seems to be positive relations between the different councils on the campus. Atleast from the outside looking in. AphiA has a diversity step show where NPHC orgs adopt an org from Pan Hel, IFC, and recently MGC orgs and teach them how to step. Purdue has also started doing GREEK WEEK where all the councils are placed on teams with members of other orgs and they must compete in random tasks in an effort to promote unity. So in pics it's wonderful. This idea to unite the greek community starting around 2006. I guess all the kinks are being worked out.
From, the inside its a different story. No one really tries to get to know each other. IFC and PanHell outnumber NPHC and MGC members by hundreds. Everyone stuck with the people they knew.Yes, everyone has the general brotherhood and sisterhood thing in common, but thats about it. It seems easier for MGC and NPHC orgs to hang out together because the process of becoming a member is similar. You had to earn your letters and everything that wearing them comes with. The IFC and PanHel process seems way different and alot of people in culturally based organizations have a hard time finding commonalities.

Yes, there is always the underlying issue of race. On my campus, every MGC and NPHC org is treated differently. Our orgs were always the first be in the paper for something negative. When the same situation happened in other councils, we never heard about it.The other councils don't have to deal with the same issues.

So, after my long rant. I have to come to the same conclusion as most of the people... yes you can coexist but hanging out all the time isnt necessary... it just leads to awkward situations.

what does your organization do to make it's pledges earn their letters?

They make 'em say their information slowly/out of sync and do the same step over and over apparently.
