"Why Did You Decide to Join ...That?"

This post is just rude and disrespectful on many different levels. It would be one thing if we came on here bashing other organizations, but we did not. I have the highest respect for members of other organizations. The problem I have is where members of D9 orgs think that other organizations should not exist if they are not part of the NPHC. The last time I checked, this is America and there are choices available for anybody to find what best fits THEM. The many different types of organizations that are represented on this forum point that out perfectly.

I feel honored and proud of my organization just as well as anyone else does for theirs. The fact that you tried to put one of our founders on blast was unnecessary. I have no need to question anything, but if it bothers you that much then I’m sure you can contact her personally. Also, why are you searching our websites looking for things to talk about? Why not recognize and respect the work that we are doing, instead of trying to assume that we feel the need to copy anyone else.

Lastly, you answered your own question regarding starting a new organization in your own post. Apparently, what our founders had in mind was not “in line” with what was available, which prompted the need to form Sigma Beta Xi in the first place. Every organization is not going to be able to offer every program out there. That is why others exist.

This has nothing to do with NPHC orgs having a problem with the existence of non-NPHC orgs so please get off that soapbox. I have no problem with someone starting a new organization and if you had read some of my other posts, you would have seen that. As for putting your founder on blast...if your soror hadn't stated that one of your founders is one of my sorors, then no one would be on blast. But you can't expect to put something out there like that (something that none of my sorors have even heard about to my knowledge) and not have any of our members respond to it. As for looking thru your websites, wouldn't you be curious if someone so boldly stated that one of your sorors is one of their founders?...

Now if one of your founders is indeed one of my sorors and she hasn't abandoned her sorority but rather now has dual membership in both (if that's even allowed), then great for her. On the other hand, if she abandoned our beloved sorority to start a new one, you better hope that she doesn't become disenchanted with your organization in the future and abandon yours...to start yet another one.
