I love my sisters, but I can't be a part of something that goes against everything I stand for.

you can quit, and everything might stay the same. you could stay and be the change from within. hopefully, it won't come to having to make that decision.

USM2012, I'm a little surprised. NPC groups at your school have pledged black women in the past.

Back away from the keyboard and figure this out for yourself.

And stop being so indiscrete. Maybe you used your middle name, but now you're providing information about the PNMs, and I'm betting many people from your school reading this thread could put all the pieces together without much trouble. That's not fair to your sisters or to the PNMs.

I'm aware of that. I have no interest in going through recruitment again. I love my sisters dearly and could never see myself anywhere else.

OK cool. We get that question a lot more than you would think.

I hate when people make assumptions about black NPC members from both sides. That is all.

-Black NPC member.

I couldn't decide what I wanted to reply to this thread with, but the above sums up my thoughts quite well. I'm just thankful this subject matter is something I've never had to question in regards to myself, my chapter, or the pnms we get to meet at recruitment.

So, ditto.

I know! I kept reading this thread and getting more frustrated.

What assumptions have been made? Just curious.

It was a comment made earlier in the thread that supported one of my assumptions.

But I can be a jerk sometimes so it should have no bearing on the topic at hand.

Where are the assumptions? I'm a black NPC member and, while I used to get all heated up about these posts a decade ago, it's nothing I haven't seen in my own life.

I've learned that, while I came from an amazing chapter, I know that there are chapters where my sisters would NOT welcome me with open arms. That doesn't upset me.

This would bother me.

Well, we join the organization through a chapter and not the other way around. Chapters are a reflection of the people in them. Perhaps she doesn't feel that those chapters (moreso, the women in them) are a reflection of the organization.

I think it would upset me, too, but in all reality, there are chapters of my sorority that wouldn't have chosen me for a plethora of reasons. I am under no illusions that I would have been able to pledge AOII at every school in the US or Canada. Each chapter is different. I am ashamed, however, of sisters who refuse to accept sisters for such discriminatory reasons.
