*SIGH*
WTF???    I swear, I don't even know why I continue to venture into some of these forums. Even if you were thinking this, what would possess you to actually post it? If you have to preface a post by saying "so please don't flame me", chances are you deserved to be flamed. Please expound on how this post has anything to with "the culture of the NPHC organizations".
I'm not even going to comment of the original title of this thread.
Nevertheless, kudos to the men of Alpha Phi Alpha for their entrepreneurial endeavors.

Hoosier, I think you stepped on your thingy!
I love good fried chicken, taters and gravy with a littlle bread and gravy!

I had that same meal every Sund and wish I could do it as good as my Mamma could do it!
Hell, every body loves Chicken, fish, pork, and beef! Well maybe not!
I do not eat potataoes, they have eyeys!
Please do me a favor Peeps, get over your typical sterotypissm!
I love food and so do you!
Why dont you just quit making a big issue out of every thing that is said! You belittle yourself only!
OKAY so jump in my stuff!
I a can tske it!
Some of your ethnicity sometimes gets a little under whealming!
We are 4 Greeks Trying to Do Good For Greeks, no damn color.
Get over your self importance, it has no place here!

Richard(SNU),
Although I count Spike Lee as one of my favorite American directors, I don't think School Daze is a the best portrait of HBGLOs. It is fiction after all 
Although I have been posting on GC only a little while, I have been consistenly impressed with all of the members of the Divine 9, their actions seem to match their words, which is what as organizations we should all be striving towards.
I would recommend that anyone interested do some reading on their national websites which are full or rich histories which include their foundings as well as their achievements through the years. You also are able to sense their values that are at the forefront of their Greek experience. Also, upon further research the charities that HBGLos support are many times very vocal in their thanks to those groups and it's interesting to read these acknowledgements.
We in NPC & IFC groups would benefit from doing some research about all HBGLOs, they really live values they espouse.
In addition I think some reading and research would prevent us from making gaffes in these posts. I think it comes from assumptions that because we have experience in NPC & IFC organizations that that experience gives us some credence in posting opinions on HBGLOs. I would submit that it does not. Again, I only say this AFTER I have done some reserach and AFTER I made some errors in posting here (which a member of one of the D9 kindly corrected me within a very generous private message).
I'm not trying to be "high-handed" in this post, I'm simply saying that I've realized after just cursory research that HBGLOs represent an entire chapter in US History, and nothing less than that, and I don't think any of us would post about a chapter in History we had not studied.
I would encouage everyone to do some reading. It is fascinating.
Just my .2 cents.

Tom, I know I can be a little paranoid at times, so before I get defensive, I have to ask if this was directed toward me. If not, my apologies.

WTF???
Why are you making an ASSumed mountain out of a mole hill? No one mentioned COLOR until your post. Interesting.........
The problem was simply the tacky title of the thread. Why did you choose to take ti there with all of the racial pitter patter? Sad, that if folks come in agreement about an issue(who is this case happen to be mostly african-american) someone like you will feel the need to take it there.
What? Does it sound like I am going off? Yes, I am because F.T.D.S I an sick of this type mess and backwards thinking on forums outside of the NPHC-related one.
Someone lock this HOT MESS of a thread and folks please move the SERIOUS convo to:
http://www.greekchat.com/gcforums/s...?threadid=21962
Bamboozled, I REALLLLLYYY feel you on that statement.

Sigh. Tom. Why even say any of those things? This was SO not a racial issue. It was an issue about the lack of judgment regarding the thread topic. Think: What if Lambda Chi Alpha had the fortune to partner with Churches...and hoosier started a thread called "LXA: soon to be known as the chicken fraternity..." Would you take it lightly?
By the way Tom...brevity is the soul of wit.
