i didnt get the gist from LatinaAlumna's post that her Founding Mothers were of the sort. of course there are those who are in line with what you are saying... but really, dont bite the hand that feeds you. or at the very least the hand that cooked the meal.
on a somewhat related note, i knew black dudes that would pledge some of the LGLO fraternities as "the next best thing" (their words), and similarly of NIC/IFCs that attempted to mimic NPHC traditions (off the top of my head, Phi Iota Alpha, Lambda Upsilon Lambda and TKE/SigEp, respectively). These guys always stuck out, not because they were black and their chapters often didnt look like them, but because they tended to reek of wanna-be-down-itis.
which as you all know, is the true source of wanna-jacket-itis and on a larger scale, founder-itis.
