Sorry, but you are being WAY too sensitive here.

Why do people say "sorry" when they're not?
Okay, so let's spin this on another angle. Say he came in and said that he noticed that of all the sororities on his campus, the women of Alpha Phi (for example) never wanted to do anything, were stuck up snobs, and just generally had bad attitudes, and then asked whether A Phis on other campuses were like this. It's no different - the issue here is making generalizations about an entire class of people based on his anecdotal and limited experience.
If he wanted to know whether there are rules, I think Stan is smart enough to ask whether there are rules. He's one of the more thoughtful posters on GC, and from his post I got that he wanted to make sure that he wasn't stepping on toes or saying something offensive. I wasn't offended, but I wanted to point out where his question might be misconstrued by others
especially since he asked us to check him if his question was ignorant or insensitive.
Even if someone shared similar experience with the NPHC at their own school, it's still
anecdotal experience, and it doesn't say anything about the NPHC as a whole.
