Oh no.
What's worse than educating white people on black people and basic black history is educating young adult black people on black people and basic black history.  I'd rather these blacks get a clue and THEN decide whether or not the NPHC purposes of sister/brotherhood and service fit them.
Plus, I've never met a black person who has never met a black person, even if they were adopted by nonblack parents or something. There are whites who have never met blacks or other nonwhites but rarely nonwhites who can say the same.

Lol, funny you say this, because I actually have a good high school friend of mine who fits the bill pretty much and she told me a few months back that she wants to pursue membership in an NPHC sorority.
I was like .. And then she told me which one it is, and again I was like .
I never pictured her in an NPHC org. But I hope she does well and I'm eager to find out if she finally decides to pursue this org and, eventually, if she makes it in.

Good luck to her. Hundreds of ladies pursue membership every year. Not all of them make it.

Okay so what you're saying is that some of these young black people have NO IDEA about their own culture when joining?

Which culture?
Blacks aren't a monolithic group.
This is making my head hurt.

People misuse the "monolithic group" phrase everyday. It's like someone used "monolithic" in a sentence one day and caused a EUREKA in people's minds that can't be overcome.
Saying there is a such thing as an "XYZ culture" isn't about being a monolithic group.
No matter how much you and your brother love black people (  ), you still acknowledge that you are Filipino and that there is a "Filipino and/or Filipino-American culture." This doesn't require that Filipinos think, say, and do the exact same things to recreate the culture.
