Does this tick you off, or do you just find it sort of silly?

D9 has set trends over the last 100 years and will continue to set trends well into the next 100 years.

I used to get upset if some non-D9 group did anything remotely related to our traditions. Now, I just shake my head and move on because imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. *shrugs shoulders*

I think that some of the GLO's borrow from the D9 because they think its cool and that's ok to me. What McCoyred said.

That would be your opinion. And if it was associated with particular IFC fraternity practices that black men in the NPHC fraternities adopted, your opinion would make sense.

Well we all certainly enjoy being called "you people."

I personally dont care if non-nphc orgs step, chant, stroll/party-hop/party-walk, have line names/#s...like someone said...imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

I agree totally.
