Yea, I was going to say.

I don't think any amount of training trumps actual membership in the respective council. I would not like it if non-LGLO individuals participated in our intake process. Meet The Greeks? Sure, and even then, it would need to be an "all campus MTG" not a "NALFO/MGC MTG" event.

Then I should shred the invitation that I received to participate in the NALFO intake process?

I was going to tell all of the aspirants to "follow your dreams, you can reach your goals, they are living proof...NALFO! NALFO!"

No need to shred it. The message will self-destruct in 5..4..3...

Expanding on my previous post:

I think I am wary of mingling of the councils in this way because it's very difficult to divorce yourself from your council's way of doing things. I remember a few years back, my alma mater had an "all Greek symposium" to encourage interaction between the councils. Many of the suggestions that were brought up were basically "IFC/NPC-ing" the other groups' traditions. That doesn't always work.

I think that having a natural fallout is much better. Instead of having (in tld221's words) diversity day and OMG SHOWING OFF OUR 8 BLACK PEOPLE, different groups should consider participating in other groups' events or philanthropies if they want to be known as inclusive. Seeing Tri-Deltas helping out with a Delta voter registration drive (for example) would hopefully seem genuine and not cause an aspirant to give the organization a side-eye.

Vanderbilt has a Greek tri-council, which I have been impressed by. They match an NPC org, an IFC org, and an NPHC org for several philanthropic activities through the year. I think this is awesome.
