Brobuzz,
You are reading WAYYYY too much into my posts, lol.
I am NOT saying that NPC/NIC organizations aren't active on my campus. What I am saying is that I see the same few people from each organization out at philanthropy events...not a slew of the 100+ people in the chapter. GW's SigEp is one of the best SigEp chapters in the country and I respect them for it. GW's ADPi is also excellent.
My interaction with those organzations was NOT just rushees like you assumed. I saw them before, during, and after they were pledging all BEFORE I even thought about joining my own organization (I pledged in the Spring).
I honestly think you are blowing this way out of proportion. Nowhere did I say that all NPC/NIC organizations are bad...in fact if you look at the missions of ALL Greek organizations you usually have something along the lines of sisterhood/brotherhood, service, academic excellence.
When I only see the same 10 people from NPC/NIC organizations out at events, it makes me wonder greatly. Additionally, many organizations send their pledges instead, so the members aren't even participating. I have some very good friends who are in NIC/NPC organizations who are just as committed to their organizations as I am committed to my own.
You blew my post way out of proportion and assumed many things based either past experiences or preconcieved notions about what people "imply" in their posts.
I strongly encourage you to take a better look at my posts before you assume things, as you will cause unnecessary stress for yourself.

I like seeing that you still ain't changed, lol. Fighting the good? fight
Topic?
Why question anyone's reasons for joining their organization. It comes down to they did what made them happy, and I don't know that anyone has any right to JUDGE them for it. If they wanted to party and that's why they joined, cool. If they wanted so support a specific community? Also cool. One sounds way loftier, but it's all about connecting with other people on some level anyway.
Sometimes it has got to make you think though....

Some people are curious about it, and I've encountered a couple of challenges, but for the most part, everyone's been really cool 
Around here, most white people don't really know much about BGLOs and don't recognize my letters anyway, so they don't pay any attention. With people who do know - black or white or whatever - it really depends on where I am what kind of looks I get. I think a lot of times people think I don't know what it is I'm wearing ...

Yea, I don't get many challenges. Are there people who ask me why I joined an Asian fraternity? Hahaha, all the time, but that's to be expected. I'm pretty involved in the community and to the ideals of the organization, so I don't think many people question me.
However, I have seen white kids who come to our Rush just because they want to get Asian girls. Usually they aren't received very well at all, naturally.
So, I understand why people would question me, but I disprove the doubters with my actions.

Pretty much second all that (even the part about getting Asian girls, although in this case it's girls looking to get black men ... people can be so ridiculous).

It's funny, people will give me these real suspicious looks in stores & whatnot, like maybe I just bought my shirt b/c I thought it looked cool or something
"Ooh, pretty random letters! I like red better than pink, I'll buy this one!"

I've only seen a few nonblack women wearing our symbols. My first instinct is to be like "hello...Soror?????" (notice the question marks)
