Redelephant, glad you found a NPC sorority and had a great experience!
I hope you will discuss the hazing issues that happened in your former multicultural sorority with your school's Greek Life Director and save future women from hazing.

redelephant, also hoping that you speak up about former hazing issues

Have you spoken to your school about the hazing? If not , PLEASE DO SO before you graduate!

Hello, I was actually browsing to see if anyone was in an MGC sorority, and I wanted to seek some advice in this thread? I will be starting as a freshman this fall also in a state school in California and they similarly only have MGC sororities. I really want to rush and participate in Greek life the next two years, but I will be transferring out to a different state school in my junior year which has all NPC sororities. So, if I rush and join an MGC sorority for these next two years, will I not be allowed to join an NPC one once I transfer out? I've been unable to find any rules clarifying this anywhere and I most definitely want to be in Greek life all four years. Also, how would this affect me in the eyes of the NPC sororities? Would they think it was, for lack of a better word, disrespectful to drop the sorority from a different school? Thank you so much!

Hey you guys!

SO I thought I would update...two years later... I ended up joining another sorority on campus because of my good friend in Panhellenic! I am now in Kappa Alpha Theta and I am about to graduate! I am currently in love with my sorority and joining was one of my best college decisions - even if I was so late in the game. If you were in the same boat as me, please feel free to message me! I would be happy to give you my feedback! :)

The only rule for NPCs is that you not have been an initiated member of another NPC group. If you pledged a multi-cultural sorority, you would still be eligible to join an NPC group at your new school.

We cannot tell you how the women of an NPC will feel about your leaving the commitment made to an MGC sorority. Technically, there is no rule that says you can't resign your MGC org and join an NPC. Personally, I would not be willing to consider your membership in my NPC knowing that you turned your back on your MGC affiliation. But that it strictly my personal opinion.

Joining a Greek organization is a serious decision to be made thoughtfully and should be for life. It is not a pair of shoes that you change when you change to a new outfit. If your choice is to attend different schools that have different sororities, that is a consequence of the choice.

hi redelephant93! I am in a similar boat to you, except I want to go from a Panhellenic sorority to an Asian interest one. Is it possible? :)

That's up to the group you want to pledge.
