LadyGreek, this highlights another issue: the relative ignorance of various types of Greek-letter organizations with each other. We travel in certain circles and often restrict ourselves even within the confines of affiliated council groups. Back in '81 I attended the Southeastern Interfraternity Conference convention (an NIC affiliated organization) in the ATL. There were just a handfull of NPHC fraternity members there. It was enlightening and I had a good time socially. I do think that we ca learn from each other;for different types of groups have their strengths and weaknesses. And all of, in one way or another, owe our existence to the particular convergence of sociocultuiral and historical factors that birthed the American Greek-letter society. These dynamics of faculty/student friction and the need for student self-determination, contemporary social idealism,social class,gender, religious and ethnic/racial differences led to establishment of us all, in one way or another.
