Am I too tired or are none of these posts really stringing together?

Nope. Not stringing together one bit. I have no idea why Diana007 is telling us her life story, why she was using the royal "We", or why she wants the OP to join an NPHC when she's not allowed to.

Anyone's guess is as good as mine.

You have graduated. You, at this point, can no longer "look into NPC" groups. Find something else to do with your time and MAYBE somone who is an NPC member MAY ask her group about you being an AI. But it comes to you - not you to it.

First of all, this better not be GreekRegret or some other sock puppet trying to distract GC.

Second of all, Diana007 is both correct and incorrect. Anyone who has read and understood that "diversity in the NPC" thread and other GC threads knows what's up.

DianaOO7 doesn't have the experience to say one way or another. She doesn't belong to either an NPC or NPHC sorority. If my sisters or a member of an NPC or NPHC have something to say about diversity in the NPC, they have the experience to say something.

She needs to stay in her lane.

Some of that is her lane just like it was my lane when I was in high school and college to determine that NPC wasn't what I wanted. I didn't just wake up one morning as a Delta so it was definitely my lane before pledging Delta to research and pursue this NPHC sorority. Nonmembers are not so clueless and nonobservant.

That's different than saying that non-white members of NPCs are "pretending" to beo something they are not. How the *#&$^&@#% would she know what their experience is or isn't? How would she know what they want or should want or what would be best for them?

Diana007's suggestions that NPC groups are only for WASPs is wrong. An NPC is a different experience for non-white members and lots of people may prefer an NPHC group for very good reasons. The women who choose to join NPC groups, however, aren't pretending to be something that they are not.


We're also maybe running up against different expectations re. member intake. NPHC groups seem to say "do your research and then approach a group that you want to join." NPC says "keep an open mind and go through recruitment."

BTW, DianaOO7 doesn't really have a lane. She is a college graduate. Many (most?) NPC groups don't actively recruit women who are post-graduation.

Diane007 is not incorrect for some of the white BGLO members.

Diane007 could have been saying that she doesn't feel as though the average "WASP" has a vested, longterm interest and investment in racial and ethnic minority communities. And I would agree 100%. If Diane007 is among the tons of white people who simply don't care, thanks for the honesty and go elsewhere.

Hope you feel better soon. (The wrist, I mean. Your occasional bitchiness is fun.)

We have never had any more NPC colonizations since 1983!

triple posting because i can. eating french crullers. troll is trolling. troll needs anger management and remedial reading. only hope: the house drops now!
