LOLOLOL, the irony.

If the Kazo Kappas need to verify my membership, they can contact the local and provincial leadership in the area I serve and/or the IHQ. And I trust if this was really an issue with them, they would've done that from Day One, if they haven't already. You're the only one I hear bringing this up her on GC and you're not even a Kappa. Take your foolishness back to Kazo.

We.Got.This.Thanks.

Like I said, STAY IN YOUR LANE!!!!

shut up, hoe.

i'm not a kappa, but you're explaining this to me, kweer.

so when you gonna finally pass the CPA after failing it like 50-11 times. and that's a literal amount.

if you spent as much damn time trying to learn basic addition instead of quoting bob barker and pat sajak, you might actually smell something resembling a passing score.

I seem to recall that there was an article in "Essence" magazine about white people in NPHC orgs. I remember reading it when I lived in Toronto, so it would have been circa 2001? I think it was a good article and perhaps worth digging for.

[L.O.C.K.]

I don't think whether or not the campus is HBCU or PWI has anything to do with it. I think it has to do with the specific members of that chapter being open to non-Blacks joining or not.

I know of chapters that have certain members who are vehemently anti-non-Black members, yet those chapters also have people who are vehemently for non-Black members.

People always question as to why I joined an Asian Fraternity. I'm used to it by now.

There will always be doubters and haters. But, when you prove them wrong by doing the right thing, ie living the Mission of your organization, while they just look on in their insecure anger, it does make you feel like you're doing the right thing.

Our organizations exist to fulfill missions and help certain groups of people. If a person is for my organization's mission, I am for them joining. If they are not for it, then they can go somewhere else.

Drolefille:

It was when the D9 stepped out of their boxes and were founded and chartered chapters on several PWI campuses where we were not allowed to participate in traditional greek rush parties. Moreover, none of our organizations were allowed to own houses near the colleges prior to 1930.

As such the National PanHellenic Council was started with 6 organizations to help foster our interconnectedness and mutual missions while there were members in various chapters at PWIs.

So, when a non-African American member displays or vocalizes interest to us, there is that entire history that some of us read while our membership intake processes about the NPHC and its reasons for organizing. That is why we question intent. That is why some refuse to vote in favor of certain potential members.

And really, it may be foul and offensive, but so what if someone choses not to vote for a non-African American member in a privately held organization? In the United States, we have the freedom to associate with whom we choose just like everyone else.

And even if you twisted it around and asked if an NPC organization chose not to select a Black girl simply because she was dark skinned, yes, there are groups that would cry "foul" and be upset by that if it ever got out.

Would members of the D9 be upset that a little Black girl did not get admitted into a NPC organization because she was voted down based on her race? Personally, IMO, I would not be terribly upset by that, saddened, yes. But read to march on Washington. No, not me.

Let's just say we pick our civil rights battles carefully... I think my Sorors Rosa Parks and Corretta Scott King would have plenty to say if they were alive today...

I believe that article was in 90s. (I was still like a sophomore or junior in college)

I'm not sure why people like to mention this article when this topic is discussed. I mean, it fits with the topic but doesn't add anything to it really.

But I met the white Omega from that article at a homecoming a year or so ago. He pledged in the 70s, or something, and was a cutie. Very esteemed and well respected. I'm sure age and reputation trumps being a "white Omega," in such instances.
