Why were you called a sell out? Because you didn't "act black" enough maybe?
Look,
IGNORANT people are the ones who think others are "sellouts" because they don't hang out with the other Black students, they join an NIC/NPC org, have mostly white friends, etc.
Don't pay attention to the opinions of the less intelligent. As you said, the only people that matter are your family. As long as you feel comfortable wherever you end up, then it's all that matters.
I know Black members of predominantly Hispanic IFC/NPC chapters (I'm at FIU... in Miami lol). And although some people may think "Oh, it's different because the majority of the chapters are Hispanic and not White," it really isn't. The Black members are still the "minority" in their chapters but they feel a sense of belonging and love their brothers or sisters.
And at the same time, most of these Black IFC/NPC members I can't seem to picture in an NPHC org. Some Black people just wouldn't fit in or feel at home in a historically Black GLO the same way that some White people wouldn't feel at home in a WGLO and the same way I wouldn't feel at home in a LGLO.
It really is no big deal, IMHO.
I hope you are able to make the best decision for you, and don't forget to not pay attention to the people trying to bring you down.
