And if a Black soror wanted to serve a non-Black community, there would be no problem. You can serve many without taking the focus off of the Black community. Overall it is important that we stay true to our founders' visions. For example, Sigma Gamma Rho's founders felt very strongly about educating Black youth and empowering Black communities through education because there was a need...and this need still exists.

I want to reiterate the bolded. I beleive that if we as NPHC orgs take our focus off the AA community, we ALL will suffer. Of all the populations in the US, Black folks are more likely to be poor, uneducated, imprisoned, etc. Until the needs of our primary community are adequately met, we have no business focusing on anyone else! If others benefit from our activities, fine, but that should be secondary.
