I know this is a little off topic, but I'm shocked to find out that NPC and NPHC sororities don't "mingle" anymore. Back when I was an active, Delta Zeta and Alpha Kappa Alpha cosponsored a lecture series on women's health every year. (The slogan was cute... "Two sisterhoods sharing two colors and one goal: Educating women"). All GLO's participated in Greek Week, regardless of their ethnic status, and every fraternity participated in our Greek God contest.

Wow... times have changed

Don't take what's in this thread as the norm at every school. If DZ & AKA did that back in your day at your campus, chances are they probably still do.

Yeah, every campus is way different. I always hear about chapters all over where bruhs will do a function or mingle with an IFC/NPC org, whether it is an awareness campaign, or a mixer. At my school, we didn't do it too much, but some of the time commitments and priorities were factors in the lack of participation. I don't want to generalize(I always say that), but spending hours working on stuffing tissue paper into chicken wire for a homecoming float, for example, didn't seem as important as putting in work for a charity event, community service project, or fundraising step show. It's not that the NPHC orgs would refuse stuff, it was just hard to get motivated for some things that were IFC/NPC staples on campus (serenades, lip sync competitions). Now, I know that members of different councils would attend each other's functions, but it would be because those people had friends in a specific organization to support, not because it was expected as a chapter or anything. I hope that makes some sort of sense.

See, this kind of stuff I know nothing about. I pledged at a Historical Black College. There weren't any WGLOs there. That was cool though, the two of you making something positive happen.
