You have a point about that, my chapter experiences are shaped by the makeup. and ass for my second point that you quoted lets try something else.

Alot of NIC fraternities were founded at insitutes of higher education at a time when those of non white descent did not truly have the option of doing so themselves.

Good then you can understand my response to your second point:

There are very few coincidences in life.

What this means:
Your chapter experience, which (whether you admit it or not) factors into your overall sorority experience, is shaped by the chapter makeup. So there is no denying that the majority of NPC and IFCers' experiences are shaped in the same manner. The members do not call it a "cultural" experience or emphasis, but that's only because "whiteness" was considered an invisible race and ethnicity for so long because it was mainstream and majority. However, patterns of socialization and networking are important to pay attention to even if the organizations' philanthropies don't target the "white community."

Hmm. You have a very good point. I'm assuming with sorority you are generalizing with yourself. But what about when you have a chapter that is part of a "white" organization, but the chapter itself is not of that makeup. I mean I understand why the generalizations were started, but why do they still hold strong today? Also what exactly do you mean by IFC? do you mean NIC?

I think enough has been said that you can connect the dots from here.

Yeah, they're the same thing except the term NIC (North-American Interfraternaty Conference) is the international council of historically white fraternities and the term IFC (Interfraternity Council) refers to local councils of NIC fraternities at a particular campus. But the terms are pretty interchangeable.

Ah I was wondering. My school doesn't have a IFC but we have an Inter Fraternity and Sorority Council which is probally the same. But our IFSC is all GLO on campus weither they be NIC like Psi U or TKE, NPC like AST and DPhiE, NPHC like DST and the Sigmas, or local. thats why I was wondering.
