Race & Sororities

I suggest watching BET's College Hill...
or any other show with black people as the main focus.
that's what most people view the black community to be.
and sadly, sometimes it's not far from the truth.
just as a lot of white people are viewed in a negative manner by other races.

I suggest that you actually get out in the community and personally interact with other Black people. I mean, face to face, real life interactions. You know, where you actually talk to them and really get to know them. Because if BET is your only exposure to Black people, then I can see why you feel the way you do.

And, btw, some of my best friends are White. They really are!

I've never seen the show, so it would be nice if you would provide specific examples.

You lose at life.

And you would be a waste of a ritual and membership card for ANY sorority. Instead of wondering NPC vs NPHC, you need to learn more about yourself and about life. None of us want members who are clueless about the basics.
