Could it be said then that such desires to uphold traditions are prohibiting success in progressive moments? From how I see it, NPHC organizations have great potential to revolutionize the way life is lived and preceived. There are so many teens that can benefit from the programs such as GEMS. Then there are still hundreds of thousands who are ignorant of blights around the world. NPHC organizations have the ability to change all of this and more.
At least in this region, it seems as if these organizations have become more of a social group rather than a team of dedicated men and women who are obligated to continue the fight their forefathers began. I just find it strange that some of those who do join did so superficial intentions... Maybe these statements are more idealistic than realistic. Perhaps I have misunderstood the history of many of the fraternities and sororities.
PhDiva's statements have made me realize that I more than likely misunderstood the purpose of NPHC organizations. This country has a hard time treating everyone as equals. So NPHC organizations are more of a safe haven rather than a force? I just assumed that ideals each organization is based on had some greater meaning (love for all, uplift, involvement in social revolutions, ect, ect).
(Sorry if I have offended anyone)
