NPHC Secretiveness, Insularity, Etc.

As I said in my post, it is not known whether the members of the Pike colony were initiated members. If they were not initiates, that would generally not preclude them from becoming members of another fraternity.

However, I do not know if that was the case.

But no, NPHC fraternities do not allow it either.

Well, it doesn't seem like many people read it or got the irony of the final paragraph.

So just in case you didn't see it, he ended his anti-NPHC/MGC rant with "Martin Luther King Jr. dreamed of the day when all races could sit together at a table of brotherhood. We have that opportunity today. Let's take it."

Basically he quoted a famous Alpha to support his article promoting the elimination of cultural and ethnic Greeks.

As while I can't tell details, suffice it to say they involve the elements of the universe--Earth, Wind and Fire.

I'm sorry but you'll have to speak for your own organization on this one. Sigma Gamma Rho does not hold their rushes in secret locations only known to certain folx. Our informal rushes or interest meetings are open to the public and anyone can attend. The undergrads post fliers and posters all around campus for people to see and encourage people (women) to come and learn more about SGRho in an informal setting. However, the formal rush and interview thereafter are by invitation only.

It was a joke.

I pay articles like this one absolutely no mind. The idea of cultural/ethnic GLO's being against diversity is absurd, especially when we all know that the lack of diversity was initially caused by predominately White GLO's. What cracks me up is that some members of predominately White GLO's refuse to see their own organizations as contributing to the lack of diversity even today. So when these organizations decided to not be racist anymore, were BGLO's supposed to abandon their focus on their communities and go running to unify with predominately White GLO's? Yeah right. The bottom line is, the same way that cultural GLO's support each other while still serving their own communities is the same way that predominately White GLO's can support and find unity with ethnic GLO's. We don't have to be the SAME to support one another and this is the point that the guy who wrote the article is missing.
