Just pointing out how sentence structure could lead to a misunderstanding. Do they do diagramming in school anymore?

LOL! I missed the sarcasm, my bad.

I don't think they do diagramming anymore. I didn't learn it until 7th grade though, and I have never taught that level. So I could be wrong.

I think we learned that in 6th -- and I really sucked at it. I remember being really embarassed because I was Miss Smarty Pants and I totally sucked at diagramming.

In my opinion no NPHC would be so desperate for this girl to be a member that they just ignored her previous affiliation with another sorority. I dont care what her reasons were what she did was wrong and she is being very deceptive.

Is it a matter of desperation or the fact that it was a NPC sorority and not a NPHC sorority? Not to offend anyone, but imo it would not have happened if she had been in another NPHC sorority.

And she would have been deceptive only if they did not know her affiliation. And that is a piece of information we are missing.

Also another thing to look at. For most of us, selection is partially based on knowing the individual and them having a letter of recommendation from a member of the org. My bet is at least some of the chapter members would have known this young lady for more then the month or two after her former sorority closed. And lastly, are there any other members of that sorority or any other NPHC members that attend the school? If so, we do talk among ourselves.

Yes, I did it in an elective in undergrad, Traditional Grammar. I dropped out of that class! And, so did a lot of other students.

Why is it anyone's business that she joined another group? It is a personal matter. I'm playing devil's advocate, and a little curious why you people are so upset about it. If it doesn't harm SDT or the "she who must not be named" NPHC, why the drama?

We don't play that shit.

Do you want to have a whole chapter of women angry with you? Seriously, I suggest you PM a member of that org here on GC and let them take it from there.

You don't want it to become a racial issue.

I don't see how this situation is any different than if this woman had joined another NPC versus an NPHC. I don't see it as a racial issue at all, I see it as an issue of a woman who knowingly deceived two groups that either frown upon or outrightly ban dual membership.

If the members in her new org knew of her previous affiliation and igonored it, that's for their HQs to handle and if they get in trouble then oh well. It's not buttonz' problem that they broke the rules. I would be happy if I were in that org and somebody notified me about someone's membership in an NPC org, as it would allow me to weed out a member that had been potentially deceitful.

It does harm SDT and the other org, and that's exactly everyone's problem with it. There's a thing called ritual and lifetime membership. I would think most members of a GLO -- and certainly on a National level -- take ritual and the idea of lifetime membership very seriously. The idea of dual membership, at least in my mind, degrades these two elements of sorority membership and I'm pretty sure their nationals would agree with me.

You may not considered it a racial issue, but other may especially if the chapter finds out that Buttonz made the call. And let's not be naive here. If that chapter is disciplined, those ladies are not going to be happy campers anyway. So don't add more fuel to the fire by having a NPC member being the one to contact HQ.

And notice I didn't say HQ should not be contacted. But only a member of DST would know the protocol for making that contact. In reality the call would not go directly to HQ.

Being from Buttonz's campus I would guess they did not know. The NPHC chapters don't interact much with the Inter-Greek Council. Some groups are technically members and may have a table at Greek Rush but I get the impression most NPHC members on our campus are initiated through borough-wide or citywide chapters. Most of the IGC members don't know the NPHC members and vice versa.

That makes sense. I hope people don't go on a mission looking for the SDT now turned XYZ from Brooklyn College.

It's not a matter of the groups interacting or not. She may have been up front and told the chapter. Or someone else may have. The school doesn't exist in total isolation. And situations like this tend to come to light just as it did on this message board.
