Yes.

What's the "debate" on this for?

Everyone refer to their own organization's policies and be done with it.

Guilty conscience???

'Cause I like to play devil's advocate. You of all people should know this by now. ;)

My point is that some organizations may not have dual membership policies that addresses local orgs, and due to the smaller nature of the orgs, what constitutes a full-fledged local fraternity from a mere club with a Greek letter name is largely a judgment call, hence requiring such a determination to be made as they arise on a case-by-case basis.

This is one gray area that an org's written policies really don't fully address because of the rarety of the issue arising.

It's not quite that easy to "be done with it".

No need. There are rules that don't require speculation or debate.

If some orgs do NOT have local orgs in their dual membership policies, it isn't against the rules. Cut and dry.

On the part of his organization, yes. :)

DAMN.

So to sum it all up:

Local org and NIC/NPC/NPHC org: Depends on the orgs involved. Check with the respective orgs' membership policies.

I love it when there's a constructive collaboration :)

In your dreams, DELTA!! :)

Folks taking that crimson and cream concept on a whole nother level.

Did you need your "devil's advocacy" to reach this obvious conclusion?

I love it when people say fake things like " I love it when there's..." when it was quite obvious that didn't occur. It just makes you look smarmy and does NOT actually make you look like the intellectual or emotional superior you try to be.

Huh?

^^^(Oh, the irony of this post).

Thanks!

*LOL and SMH*

Ne'er mind.

There's no irony there.

No this doesnt often happen. Its fairly infrequent. I mean, he's a member of my fraternity now...ionno if i would call him my frat BROTHER tho...i mean, i understand ppl make mistakes sometimes and chose the wrong org for them, but yo, there aint no redo's here...you got to live wit that decision you made.


damn, i've heard of it bein the other way around, not this way...um, i wouldnt say nothin...i mean, whats done is done...

If it is not against your org's rules, why not?

:confused:

it is against my org's constitution and by-laws. i mean, i'm sure he's not the only one to have done it, so i cant really get up in arms about the whole pancake bizness, but if i knew that he was a pancake, i wouldnt really bang with him like that...i'm not gonna be disrespectful towards him, unlike how i'm sure some other pplz would be(from both orgs)...

Agrees with Still Blutang!

I rep TBS and AKA! Most of the ladies of my chapter of Tau Beta Sigma are also members of a NPHC and/or a service/professional org.

Okay, that wasn't clear (at least to me) in your post.

What is "pancaking" about?

Flip-floping.

Always the bearer of enlightenment, AlphaFrog!

Ah to reply to the topic...on my campus (and for my fraternity specifically) we allow members and potential pledges to be a member of a social fraternity or sorority (we're co-ed) and one other professional fraternity. We do have a member that is in an NPC and another professional fraternity besides ours, but it's really rare...and very time consuming. We also have a member that's in Phi Mu Alpha as well as our fraternity...but at my school the theater and music programs pretty much try to support one another the best that we can, so it makes sense.

Can you??
 

Can you pledge a greek and a non greek??

Define, or give examples of, a non-greek organization. It really depends.

Dual memberships
 

Oh, I know plenty of members of another fraternity and Delta Iota Kappa. :cool:

Yes you can as long as it is not part of NIC, NPC, or NHPC.

Any professional or service greek named organizations are available to you.

If once you are initiated into any of the 3 councils while it is not impossible, it is almost so.

Remember the time involved and if you can afford it.

Speak for your own council. In the NPC it IS impossible.

STFU, Earpus.

I guess you will never change and even try to be a decent person.

Once a B, I guess always a B!:o

B M and will you give a lip hug to your favorite enemy to make up!:rolleyes::D

Why don't you try to help instead of being such a negative person.

God, you must hate your self and evryone else.:o

Umm...Drole...help? I don't understand.

Not only will you never change, you will also try to be a decent person.

I've decided to be like all those LJ moms and call you B! Actually I mean "Bitch" but it doesn't count because I didn't say it!

Either you need to poop or bite me, also go make out with a certain psycho friend of mine.... I mean, I just want to watch.
How dare you not ignore my incorrect information. Of course a member of an NIC fraternity can join an NPC sorority if he wants! Why? Because I say so!
God hates Himself and everyone else. We're screwed.

Well as usual, you explain things to well but always have to throw in some thing untruthful! So that makes you better?:rolleyes:


AlphaFrogie you never seem to understand except what you feel like saying!

God what a waste of a body.:o

Does Your Sorority know about you or are you just a posser?

If I were and ASA, I would disown you!

Drolefille is a wonderful interpreter, particularly when I've been on the sauce. Also my store has never been burglarized.
One of the previous sentences is a lie.

Tee hee! Frogie! Get it? You don't understand it except when you want to reply to me. I think. This sentence is illogical actually.

God was a waste of a body. Thus, Jesus was a waste of a body. Hmmm... I think I should go to church.
Yes are you just a .... well.. one of these things?

They're those things you used to agitate laundry before washing machines.
If I were, I would disown you, however I am not, because I do not think.

And ASA.

LOL You're gonna get me kicked out of work for laughing too loud :D

I have a friend who pledged an NPC sorority, but wasn't initiated. She is attempting to AI into a different group, and has almost completed the process. I told her that she should relinquish all of her old letters.
