AEPi chapter disaffiliates from National Organization

What was needed in 1930 may not be necessary in 2015 and I think they should lax some of those restrictions if they want to remain competitive in the conference.

That presumes they believe it's a competition to begin with. I don't believe that they do.

Either way it's still disappointing that a social NIC Fraternity can openly discriminate and kudos to this chapter for taking the initiative to disaffiliate before being forced out.

So how do you feel about the historically African American members of the NIC and the fact that member fraternities such as Alpha Gamma Rho, Farm House, and Triangle have limits on who they will accept? Do you consider it discrimination?

Do you mean Kappa and Iota? They are in both NPHC and NIC but don't most people identity them as NPHC over NIC? I don't think AGRho and FarmHouse limits their memberships to just agriculture students but I could be wrong.

As well as the Latino and Asian member fraternities.

Sen, thanks for the confirmation about Asian and Latino GLOs. I was going off my head post SB, and wasn't sure if they were NIC or not.

PiKA2001, yes, one does have to have an agricultural academic focus to join those orgs. That's why I mentioned them.
