Like I said, at one time it may have had some weight to it, but now it means nothing.

APO, KKP, TBS and other groups on HBCUs may have adopted that term too since they were on campuses with strong NPHC presence, but I seriously doubt that you would have found that term in use in those orgs at a PWI.

MIP was established in 1990 / 1991, so yes, by now you have leaders in NPHCs who only know that process.

I understand your curiosity since so much of Black culture is appropriated and mimicked.
So really...closer to thirty years ago. You must be one of those people like me who is in denial that 1990 was almost 30 years ago.
