Why do LGLO/MCGLOs follow NPHC practices?

It's possible that the latter two just aren't doing the service on campus.

I'm not saying they do none, I'm saying I hear/see more IFC/NPC orgs here doing service than the others.

I got what you were saying. I'm saying that it's possible that the service that the NPHC and LGLO/MCGLOs partook in were done off campus.

In my chapter, for example, we have a few service events that we do on campus (annual/bi-annual events). The bulk of our service, though, is done either off campus on our own, or with other chapters. These events may not be known to all the other Greeks, but trust that they get done.

Which doesn't mean they actually do more.

I find that people just aren't familiar with what the other councils are doing. This is why I love campuses with Greek Offices that keep all the councils and campus community involved and informed about what every GLO is doing. That's how I was really able to know which IFC, NPC, and NPHC orgs truly WEREN'T doing anything (or were just doing a couple things a semester, which is lame) on or off campus.

Considering I know people from NPHC, Latino and Asian MCGLOs on campus, they don't do that much service. Nearly all of the events they have are ones where they show off their heritage.

Kind of derailing the topic, but MCGLO at my school have been on the decline, while IFC/NPC are on the rise. I don't know if this is a trend, but more students from different ethnicities are going towards IFC/NPC organizations. I know SLG and SLB are severely lacking new members and are down to mostly Juniors/Seniors with a very small minority of Sophomores/Freshmen.

How can you be sure the members that you know are telling you everything on their respective calendars? Perhaps the people you know are the ones not doing any service activities?

FYI - Gammas and Betas are not multicultural.

Gammas and Betas sit on our Multicultural Greek Council and are Latina/Latino oriented. How are they not multicultural?

Several of NALFO's organizations do sit on multicultural councils at the local level, but aren't multicultural organizations. SLB and SLG may have multicultural membership, but neither is multicultural in focus.

I knew people from NPC and IFC organizations but didn't know all the service they did unless it was specifically reported to us. I doubt you really know what you're talking about.

I trust my friend telling me, "Yeah we didn't do that much service because we didn't have any time" over someone on GreekChat.

Oh, one person talking about one chapter/organization? Thanks for making sweeping claims about multiple organizations based on that. Or do you have a friend in every chapter who reports to you?

And what does "much service" mean in a quantitative sense? Did your friend hand over their service count?

Since you're volunteering.
