No need for name calling. If it was taking as me being, "an assumptive idiot" apologies are in order,(on my behalf) but that's how i took it when i read it. If your intentions were mentioned in your previous message then it could have been avoided.
But, I'm a new member to GC but when i was doing searches on the topics that were mentioned I never found anything similar to this thread, hence the reason i posted it. But since there seems to already be discussions about it I'll keep looking. Thanks

The last president for my chapter was one of our black member. If you like the girls and they like you race should not be an issue.

Race doesn't seem to be an issue for NPC, but is it one for NPHC? I'm curious about this (not trying to start a controversial argument, I really would like to know) but for those of you in NPHC GLOs, are there any white women in your groups?

When I was a freshman in college in the mid-80s, I recall seeing one white woman who was in Delta Sigma Theta -- she was probably a junior or senior at the time.

No because we still have a blacks-only clause.

Although I am not a member of a NPHC organization, I am puzzled as to why race may be an issue for NPHC organizations and not for NPC organizations.  I'm sure you do not have to be black in order to be qualified to become a member of a NPHC org, and vice versa with a NPC org. You say you really would like to know, however, I think the answer is more obvious than you care to acknowledge.

ALL of the NPHC organizations have White members. They also have Hispanic, Indian, Asian, etc. members; the same as with the NPC and other greek organizations. Now there may be certain members/chapters that take issue with this since our orgs are historically and predominently African American, founded at a time in which Blacks could not join White GLO's, but there are non-NPHC GLO members/chapters that have issues with non-White members also.
But to answer the question, yes, all NPHC orgs have non-Black members and we cannot discriminate based on race, religion, etc.

I'm sure I'm extremely late, however, I wasn't posing a question, I was answering one. I guess that's what I get for trying to answer a question with a question! Thanks for the comment though.

And you're naive or oblivious to racism in our society if you don't know that there are indeed NPC members/chapters as well as other non-NPHC members/chapters that take issue with non-Whites joining their organizations.

Yes, the same way there are NPHC members/chapters who take issue with non-Blacks trying to join their GLO. Although it seems to be more acceptable than racism in the NPC is. If an NPC rejected or dropped a PNM because she was Black, that chapter would be in deep sh*t.

Nah, not "the same way." But there is similiarity in that blacks rushing NPC and NIC orgs and whites pursuing NPHC orgs are both relatively rare phenomena, regardless of what we see on GC.
For the record, on many campuses, whites pursuing NPHC orgs is still viewed differently than other nonblacks pursuing NPHC orgs.

A dog with clothes on is still a dog. You can call it a little person with clothes on but only idiots buy that.
ETA: This has nothing to do with the "how would you prove it" discussion.
