Now THAT is insulting. This is one of those "pot meet kettle" situations. You perceive that multicultural orgs are dismissive of NPC organizations, so your response is to dismiss multicultural orgs? Let's get serious.
There are scads of members of NPC, NIC and NPHC orgs - which have multiple tens of thousands of members each - that do not consider multicultural Greeks to truly be Greek and who seek to invalidate the sincerity of members of these organizations.
There are perhaps a few thousand multicultural Greeks who express pride in their organizations - pointing out the fact that they are unlike NPC, NIC and NPHC organizations because their reason for existence is to promote multiculturalism - and out of those few thousand, some of the members get too big for their britches and make inappropriate and insulting statements.
I see and feel the tension here. But, for anyone to come in and say that the very missions of multicultural sororities are offensive is preposterous. And, what of people like me who consistently uplift ALL Greeks? I've never made a negative comment about the core principles of another legitimate Greek organization. If I've ever said anything negative, it has been about
individual members of the organizations who were foul.
