Can National Shut Down a Chapter Because of it's Racial Breakdown? - Page 3

If your chapter is stable as far as operations and numbers are concerned, and if you are still espousing the redhead focused causes the national org espouses, they shouldn't be able to shut you down. When you start changing ritual and having Blond is Beautiful day, though, then I could see where they'd have a gripe.

There are often differing opinions among members/alumnae/national councils of formerly all-redhead chapters as to how "red" they should stay. (Better Dead Than Not Red? LOL, showing my age there) Your EVP might have that as his PERSONAL point of view, it doesn't mean everyone else at your HQ or on your national council does.

I just wanted to mention that there actually is an organization devoted to redheads...it is called the Princeton Redhead Society. I don't think it is necessarily for left-handed ones. Sorry, as a natural redhead I just get really excited about redheaded stuff sometimes.

Ha, I myself would love to have a redhead.

Aren't we quite judgmental today? Who are you to tell me how to be a member of my Sorority? Like, I love to tell you how to be a member of yours.

And for the record, it is NOT about any disdain for NPC/NIC organizations as I have helped numerous fraternities and sororities procure funds to support their activities at all my universities. And several greeks would specifically take my classes because I only judged them by their class performance and NOT by their letters... That's for real, just so you know a little about me.

So, please, work on your fabricated story on me a tad bit better, because really, what you truly know about me is bullshit! Okay, thanks.

No, but maybe Nationals should shut down a thread due to its horrific spelling error in the thread title.

Oy.....

I just happen to believe that they are all incorrect and have missed the point of being in a national fraternity.

Just to reiterate, this is not an NPHC/NIC thing. This is a problem among many people who pledge anything.

I don't just think...I KNOW they are wrong. And I tell NPHCers who feel this way that they are lame all the time.

We've actually had a discussion of this before.

I am forever FROM my chapter and close to my chapter Sorors. However, my lifetime commitment is to Delta and that extends to wherever Delta is--"everywhere."

I seriously LOL'd at AKAMonet's original post. I thought it was a funny way to articulate her main point.

While I agree to an extent, I did not join my organization because because it was it was that organization, I joined because I liked the people in it and how I interacted well with them. I would have joined this group no matter what greek letters it had, as far as the 'ideals' of each organization, that had no bearing in my joining this chapter, the ideals of the individual members are the only ones I worried about.

Don't get me wrong, I love my national fraternity (because of my chapter, perhaps?) I love the ritual that my organization has, but my loyalty remains, and will continue to remain with my chapter.

Sorry for not proofreading cutiepie. When I created this thread, I was more concerned about the idea that my chapter may be shut down by the end of the school year than as to whether or not I accidentally put an apostrophe into its.

I completely agree, and anyone who says "I joined my GLO because I compared its creed and principles to the other chapters on campus and picked the best, as opposed to because of the members in the chapter" is full of it.

I don't understand why so many people have a problem with chapter pride.

You are aware that there are some NIC fraternities founded as early as the late 1800s that never had a discriminatory clause, right?

And although I don't technically agree with AST[rest of username, sorry too lazy to check back], you do show a lot of negative bias towards NIC/NPC organizations in almost all your posts dealing with it.

Which I could care less about... but there is not denying you have a problem with, particularly, non-Whites joining NIC/NPC organizations.
