Getting back to the OP, I think NPC could offer some up-and-comers some real support in growth and legitimacy, but I don't see any NPHC sororities needing that support. Or legitimacy.
I do think it would be helpful in a "can't we all just get along" kind of way if the NPHC chapters and NPC chapters would work more closely together at the campus level. When I was in school the NPHC chapters were quite strong, I think, but never knew a single woman who was a member of one. And yes, I've had black friends my whole life, so it wasn't that. It would be nice to have ALL the sororities on campus participating in flag football or attending each others philanthropies or whatever. Co-counsel mixers or exchanges?
And SigmaDiva, your story cracked me up! I was thinking of some similar statements I've heard in my life (about friends/neighbors) and I'm always dumb-struck about how to respond to it.
