The organization isn't single-letter -- the chapter is.

Some friendly advice...slow down on your posts, little buddy, it's not a race.

Ahhhhh...I see what's happening -- we're spamming in between "regular" posts. Nice try.

Yeah, and the Morris Brown reason is one of the least likely to be within the control of the chapter.

This is kind of a random question, but did the group have a policy about accreditation before Morris Brown or was the response based on what seemed to be the right thing in that case? I had never thought about it before, but I think it makes a lot of sense not to keep chapters open at unaccredited schools. I'd think you'd want to do what you could to encourage folks to transfer quickly.

^^^ If you haven't read In Search of Sisterhood, I highly recommend it. Although it's the story of DST, I consider it a true slice of what each of the first 8 NPHC organizations went through for expansion.

To directly answer your question though, I do believe that we had long had stringent expansion policies in place, including the "rating" of the school. I'm not sure how accreditation worked back then, but if you look at our initial chapters, they were pretty great schools on the whole, and only 7 were HBCUs.

I *think* we wouldn't expand to any school without a certain rating, and that excluded many HBCUs in the early years. However, as discussions were held about the fairness and equity of the rating system, and whether this excluded qualified men who were denied the opportunity to attend "better" schools, whether racially or economically, the system was relaxed.

But never to the point where we'd be allowed to function on unaccredited campuses. The bros from Iota Chapter mostly transferred to Morehouse and Clark-Atlanta with no questions asked.

I don't even know how my own GLO decided/s stuff like this, but I remember expansion being one of the really interesting issues in Bound by a Mighty Vow. After reading that, I was on a little GLO history kick generally and got African American Fraternities and Sororities and something else on the NPHCs, but I haven't read them yet. Now, I'm hoping that In Search of Sisterhood is the other book I ordered.

I said 23 because Chi Omega's Omega chapter is not a collegiate chapter. It is reserved for deceased members. A chapter, yes, but apples and oranges.
