End of story.

I have yet to attend an NPHC function in my city, either. The extent of my involvement is sending out emails I feel might be relevant to the member chapters on the DC Pan-Hellenic list serv.

Sidebar: I don't enjoy picnics, so you will never find me at an NPHC picnic anywhere at anytime, DC or not.

OP's punishing the entire NPHC group because of what 1 person did? Yeah, that's mature.

If you read my previous posts, I did say this was just ONE example, just to give you an idea of what I was dealing with, which was more than just annoying people.

I was thinking that...I was like she said the is ONE OF not THE example...jeeesh.....but, grad I feel where you are coming from.

But you know what, you may surprise yourself whenever you do see her....as badly as you want to whoop her a$$...how much would it really change??? Probably nothing. Every battle is not worth fighting and based on how you handled the situation when it happened...you did the right thing. Why should you go to jail for her foolishness...girl please. I almost found myself in a situation kind of like that this past weekend because I completely snapped on my crazy roommate...I was waiting for her a$$ to even attempt to hit me because I was about to beat that trick down...luckily for her she didn't...but that girl is crazy and I just don't think she has the brain power to realize how stupid she is..lol. But no need of me getting in a whole lot of trouble for this nut because not only do I represent God and Velocity_14 everyday...as you stated...I am a walking billboard for my sorority and I take all of that very seriously so..forget that trick and all of those other nutcases and continue serving your community, your organization, and your chapter. Do what what you can do and try to see the bigger picture...

Well...thats all I got.....lol. Good luck girl!

Ok, I am a member of an NPHC sorority. Been so for 2 years now. My issue is not with my sorors. It's with the other 3 NPHC sororities - with specific idividuals to be more clear, not with the sororities as a whole. Since I came trough, I have attended 1 NPHC event and that's because due to the circumtances, I had no choice. I hated it the entire time. I don't do NPHC events like everyone else does. I don't like them. I purposely avoid them and even if I have nothing to do, I will not go.

Why? Because I don't feel like running into these individuals from the other sororities. I also don't go to any events the other NPHC sororities sponsor. Same reason. Some of these individuals have left a not-so-good impression on me (to put it nicely) and I just keep away from them and their org or else I feel like a hypocrite, which I'm not. Their org reminds me of them, simply put and supporting their org means supporting them Basically, you can say that I isolate myself from other greeks by staying within the bubble of my own sorority. That's where I'm happy - in my sorority. I'm extremely active within my sorority and have gotten to know sorors nationwide. I go to everything except NPHC events.

NPHC members, I don't know if I'm being childish or crazy. But I don't want to do NPHC events. A soror approached me to tell me about the next NPHC event. Most sorors from our chapter will be out of town and she would like those of us in town to go and represent our chapter. I told her no thank you b/c I already have plans (in reality I don't) I'm always busy when there's an NPHC event going on. Do I feel bad saying "No, I'm not gonna make it to this one" - of course! But I do it anyway. Noone has caught on that I purposely avoid NPHC events because they see me everywhere else our sorority is having a function. I drive alot to support other chapters in the state. Do I feel like I'm missing out on the whole NPHC experience? Of course I do - but the alternative (running into these people) is just too much for me to handle and so I choose to miss out.

NPHC members, I would like your serious opinion. I'm a grown woman in a grad chapter. I feel that my free time should be spent doing what I want to do. Serving my sorority and our community I do with all my heart and I do it willingly and happily. But NPHC - I don't feel like it should be a priority when I'm doing everything else a soror can possibly do within my sorority. I even hold an office.

NPHC members, do you think I'm skipping out on my responsibilities as a member of my sorority by not doing anything related to NPHC?

I don't.

I seldom go to NPHC events. Not because of an anti-NPHC mentality, but I just choose not to go. I'm not one who hangs out like that.

You're active in your sorority and that's where your vows/oath lie.

While it's great to interact with NPHC members, it's not written in stone or in any of our by-laws that I am aware of. Maybe it is and I'm the one whose in violation.

I went straight to my soror's house yesterday after I logged out of GC and told her about it. She said this same exact thing as you just wrote above CT4!!! I asked her to come with me to the next NPHC event, but she was like "Why? B/c you feel that you have to go? Nah, you don't have to go. Go if you want to, not because you feel you have to. . . ." She said she would not say this about a sorority event, but for an NPHC event, she felt it wasn't as important. The truth is that I really don't want to go to an NPHC event for reasons stated earlier - at least not right now. Maybe one day I will change my mind. So, I'm not planning on going anytime soon.
