I really don't think that you should let this stop you from seeing what amazing organizations those groups may be. I have to be honest. My sorority has changed philanthopy focus since I joined, and if I knew then, what i know now, and had the current philanthropy focus been our philanthropy focus THEN, I would have steered clear of my sorority because I significantly disagree with this organization (charitynavigator.org doesn't have anything nice to say about how they use the funds they raise and I think it's total crap that our girls are raising so much money for a company that's being wasteful...)

Anyway.... I love my sorority. My sorority is NOT the philanthropy. As an alumna, I choose to not be involved in that aspect anymore. I have other ways that I get involved in philanthropic efforts in my personal life. I would have hated to miss out on my sorority because I wrote them off dur to the philanthropy group they were associated with.

Just something to think about....

LOL.

Now don't you think if I wanted it to be obvious what organization I was a part of that I would have just said so?

For starters people on GC who won't name their organization but make strong statements about Greek life or their chapter make me suspect. Just how it is after the years.

Aside from that, if you feel so strongly against your organizations philanthropy and for a good reason (how funds are spent, something I too look for and place importance in) I don't get why you want a hush hush secret.

Also a majority of the NPC organizations are involved in/with various large and well know organizations, so if one of them is so terrible I'm curious to know what it is.
