Why do LGLO/MCGLOs follow NPHC practices?

[LatinaAlumna]

I can only speak for my own organization (LGLO), but my Founding Mothers received a great deal of advice and support from one of the NPHC sororities when they were establishing our organization. Further, some of my Founding Mothers were rejected by the NPC when they tried to register for recruitment, so I'm figuring this factored into the decision to refrain from using very many traditions that originated with the NPC sororities.

I totally understand this but what gets me is when those who are rejected from NPHC orgs or who simply wish to hate on us end up adopting our traditions when they create their new org. Then they want to preach about how they're so anti-NPHC and they are the alternative and yadda yadda yadda. Huh??? Sorry to crash...just venting.

I've usually only seen this from non-NPHC BGLOs. Have you seen it with LGLOs or MCGLOs?

I've seen it, too. But moreso from those who decided to not pursue membership or were denied membership.

i didnt get the gist from LatinaAlumna's post that her Founding Mothers were of the sort. of course there are those who are in line with what you are saying... but really, dont bite the hand that feeds you. or at the very least the hand that cooked the meal.

on a somewhat related note, i knew black dudes that would pledge some of the LGLO fraternities as "the next best thing" (their words), and similarly of NIC/IFCs that attempted to mimic NPHC traditions (off the top of my head, Phi Iota Alpha, Lambda Upsilon Lambda and TKE/SigEp, respectively). These guys always stuck out, not because they were black and their chapters often didnt look like them, but because they tended to reek of wanna-be-down-itis.

which as you all know, is the true source of wanna-jacket-itis and on a larger scale, founder-itis.

TKE/SigEp mimic NPHC traditions? I'm have friends in both and am confused by this statement.

She may be referring to local chapters of those fraternities.

Speaking as a Member of an Independent BGLO our members Give our upmost Respect to NPHC Organizations. We know that if it were not for the strides they Made our organization may not be there. I cant speak for eveyone in our organization but for the members in my Chapter these Indidvudals never sought out a NPHC org to join. They wanted to do something different myself Included.

Then... We are not talking about you sweetheart... We are talking about those who are NPHC rejects that decide to share inappropriate information with non-members who later form groups they decide to call GLO.

I can see if stuff is made up, independently and there is a logical progression and reason behind pursuing a new type of organization. Justifiably so, how will said GLO serve the purposes of XYZ group du jour? NO ONE here questions that.

But, if I see another YOU TUBE imitating our steps and sounds because, wow, that's what Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. is ALL about--I swear, I am going to barf.
