Question: Does anyone ever see the NPHC allowing inclusion of a 10th group?

Well now you got it and you're still belching and complaining!

Do you want me to have the NPHC's back or don't you? Dang!

Mental health screening is a right and not a privilege.

so what does this all mean? that these orgs need to get their weight up and meet the requirements if they want to petition for membership? that eventually someone will meet the requirements?

It means what it says. No more, no less.

this posts, nor your subsequent posts on the attidudes on d9'ers are relevant.

Huh? You can't even type a coherent sentence. Now state it again, I don't know what the freak you said!

PSA: Friends don't let friends type drunk.

come better, dru down.

Whoever the freak that is. If he ain't related to Hugh Downs, I don't care about him, buck 'um.

"this posts, nor your subsequent posts on the attitudes on d9'ers are relevant."

sounds pretty cut and dry to me. it would greatly behoove you to invest in a short-course on remedial english. i'm sure they offer it at the local middle school.

and your post(s) didn't(don't) say much. anything less would be a waste of braincells. can't go anywhere but up.

OMG! A presumably college educated man writes a grammatically piss poor sentence, tells me it sounds pretty cut and dried, and then tells me to invest in a short course on remedial english.

Starang, where the FREAK did you get your degree from, a correspondence school?

I will ask it again:

If these orgs are established, solid and strong enough to be part of the NIC, but are not established, solid and strong enough to be part of the NPHC, what is the real issue at hand?

Or more directly: Is being THAT established, strong and solid the real issue in being part of the NPHC?

I know I am late and after the fact but I have a point that has not been addressed.

The NIC has had member orgs merge and fold as well as cease to exist, right?

The NPHC has not had a single merger or fold.

See where I am going with this...?

YES, matter of fact I started a thread on this very issue several years ago that died very quickly. Lemme find it and when I do, I'll repost it.

Hold on...

OK, I found and TTTed the thread. It is titled, "A Question to the NPHC Greeks"

Carry on...

Just to throw another light on the subject. I do not consider the NPHC to be a governing or ruling body. Each member is autonomous in its own governance.

I see the NPHC more as a coordinating body--for local affiliates, a way to work together to make sure activities and events don't conflict, and nationally to provide a vehicle for the national presidents of the D9 and represntatives from local pans hells to discuss mutual issues and sometimes issue joint statements.

We don't even have a local pan hell --collegiate nor alumnae here.

*kinda off topic, but I want to address this point. **

My interactions with the NPHC at the undergrad and grad level have been good. The NPHC pretty much functions as you state, as a coordinating body. Since much of the focus of NPHC greeks is to serve the community, it is important to try not to book your event on a day when another org has an event so there will not be conflict and confusion. Also, coordinating events is good because then we can go out and support each org's events.

Here in Houston, the NPHC on the grad level is handled very well. We have 19 NPHC grad chapters so there is a great deal of coordinating going on. The executive board of the Houston NPHC is such that every greek org has a position and the president's position rotates through each of the D9 orgs. For a number of past years a Kappa was the 'glue' that held us together. He would make sure that all of the 19 grad chapters got together for events and supported each other and a few of our common community service events. Lately it has been an Omega who has taken up this role.

And you know what, it works.


**now back to the topic**

It is very simple, if an org wants to join the NPHC can meet the criteria, then let them join. If they can't meet the criteria, then they should go back and determine what they need to do to meet the criteria. It's like getting a job, either you have the qualification for it, or you don't.

LOL, nice try at diversion, pointdexter. it's not my fault that you're having a hard time with reading comprehension.

if this is the only thing that your pea-brain can think of, then you're going to have to step your game up because you continually make yourself look like a bitter, and ridiculous.

your idiocity is proof positive that membership should be as stringent as ever. if this is what you consider intellectual discourse, or even mild shit talking, then i highly suggest that you step it up a notch because your dull wit is reminiscent of child with that suffers from mild retardation.

ever see the movie the "40 year old virgin"? it should serve as an instructional video for one of such stellar people, and mental skills.

Oh, piss off, Starang and learn some freaking grammar.
And while you're at it, why don't you follow DSTChaos' advice and shut up?

Yes, I saw a bootleg DVD version of it just last night and if they ever do a sequel, I will be THE first in line to audition for the title role.

Now mental skills that, homey!

getting mad? you're a mental pissant who can't hold their own in any sort of discourse. you've brought nothing but a bitter taste into this thread because deep down you resent the greeks, and have an inferiority complex whenever you're around one. i'm not exactly sure why, but hey....what ever floats your boat. it's pathetic that you feel this way, but hey...someone has to be voice of continual dissent. i suggest you turn that frown, upside down.
