They arent racist but have a strong rooted belief that the D9 is the only thing "we" have that blacks founded and dominated for the last 100+ years and the traditon is dying out if my generation goes NPC. But times are changing....

This sounds like that blood purity thing I read in Harry Potter!

Well, think of it this way... You shouldn't pursue membership in an NPHC org unless your heart is set on THAT glo, right? Well I think your family would accept it (even if it takes time) more if you joined an NPC and felt happy and had no regrets than if you pursued membership in an NPHC org half-assed and not whole heartedly.

Regardless, you shouldn't join ANY greek org without being sure it's right for you.

That's all I can think of now lol.

On my campus very few minority women participate in NPC Recruitment. Sometimes it unfortunately makes them into tokens. I have actually heard "Hey we got a black girl this semester" like she is a trophy. But because our campus is fairly diverse and our NPC and NPHC sororities are not, this attitude has cropped up.

Since my school is located in Miami, FL all of the PC and IFC organizaitons are made up of Hispanics. It's weird going to national events and seeing the other chapters. In the end, all organizations offer something to everyone
