Non participation in NPHC as a D9 member

[AKA_Monet]

Ummm. You may feel confident in your own skin (sorority), but in reality, you are not... The real issue is you do not even have to JUSTIFY ANYTHING TO ANY OTHER SORORITY BUT THE ONE YOU PAY YOUR DUES TO!!!

Some cities have the "interconnection" between all the NPHC greeks. Many do not. You should know which one it is.

The concept comes from pledging... Hence, illegal... But the saying still holds true: "Loose lips sinks ships"!!! Which means someone--NOT YOU BUT SOMEONE ELSE--in your chapter is running off at the mouth making relative "newbies" to your Sorority uncomfortable.

To those of us on GC who are astute, we already can tell which organization you are in. Which makes this thread quasi-questionable. That means you need to talk to your sorority sisters as to how to handle it...

I, personally do not show up into any D9 organization events, parties, etc. without a specific invite from a member. Period. If it is an NPHC graduate event, I do not go because it is too difficult for me to drive to at night and well, I kinda do not agree with the concepts behind the activities--too undergradish for my tastes. And then, if I feel like going, I might go. I do, either physically or monetarily, support other organization's community services or activities because well, somebody needs to do it--mine is not.

But, if you have been harassed by anyone who espouses D9, you need to speak to the responsible members of your sorority as to how to handle it. That means an elder member of your sorority. Where are your mentors? Then that is who you speak to.

Good luck.
