If she joined a service org, I wouldn't have a problem with it. But another social org I do. I also doubt she was honest about her affiliation with SDT.

I guess I just don't see an issue with it. It's like my mom joining P.E.O.
Would you feel the same if it was Beta Sigma Phi? (Pi?)

Although if she lied about SDT, not cool.

I don't know if it's against the rules, but I would notify national. To me, once you're initiated to a sorority you're supposed to be totally loyal. If you transfer and you don't have a chapter to affiliate with, then you should just join a service organization or honor society or something to occupy your time, but not divide loyalties, ya know?

NPHC are not service organizations per se....they are social organization there are heavily involved with community/service projects.

It is highly insulting to me (and I am not even a NPHC member) to liken the NPHC organizations to Beta Sigma Phi and PEO or the like. I am not saying anything bad against Beta Sigma Phi or PEO, because they serve a purpose, just like each and every social organization (be it Greek letter or no) that we mostly discuss here on GC.

The reason I say the above is that you can hold dual membership (considered not a conflict of membership or frowned upon) to be a member of NPC/NPHC organization and a member of GSS, BSP, PEO, etc....

Thank you. Not only do I feel the same way, I have looked into both BSP and OPhiA for myself, as they are two different things.

She never transfered. Our chapter was closed, and then..well it was done the semester that our chapter was closed (we were closed the first week or so of the semester) she went ahead and joined XYZ. I am pretty sure it's a city wide chapter, as the school doesn't have XYZ, so she could have gotten away without mentioning she was an SDT.

Drolefille 11-08-2006 05:06 PM

I'm not really comparing NPHC to other groups, just saying that she is probably as active in SDT as many other alums and that her NPHC membership probably doesn't infringe on that.

ΑΓΔSquirrelGirl 11-08-2006 05:06 PM

Personally I think that's pretty bad. I'm an Alpha Gam, and even if we lost our chapter I wouldn't attempt to become something else.

I say put the hussy on blast.

I like this idea a lot.

WenD08 11-08-2006 05:31 PM

for AKA, a woman cannot try for membership if she is/was a member of an NPC/NPHC sorority or a another sorority similar in scope. a former member of an NPC sorority tried to join ours. she was honest that she was a former member and we honestly turned her down:p
as for doing background checks, no, we don't. however, if someone tries to get around this and is caught, it's not pretty.
i do believe other NPHC sororities are the same as us.
i swear that Facebook will trip up a bunch of folks:rolleyes:...i wonder what org. this woman is in...:confused:

Sigma Gamma Rho has the same policy. And I'm curious as to what organization this young lady joined as well.

Senusret I 11-08-2006 05:44 PM

Buttonz, it would be un-panhellenic if you didn't tell us which org the hussy joined.

I bet it has a Greek letter ending in "A." :p

KSUViolet06 11-08-2006 05:56 PM

Inquiring minds want to know. It obviously bothers you. If you put her on blast, it would no longer be an issue since I'm guessing she'd be promptly expelled (since I'm sure the NPHC women on GC are well connected). :)
