Dual Memberships
 

Jeez...is she at your school?

Does she have SDT mentioned anywhere in her facebook profile?

I joined SDT at the school that I started out in, and she was one of my chapter sisters.

She used to....not anymore....

I could be way off base, but I don't think that it's against rules for members to hold membership in NPC and NPHC orgs... Could be comepletely wrong and I probably am.

Not technically but it tends to be frowned upon, particularly within the NPHC groups. This doesn't mean it never happens or is universally frowned upon or anything though. The question would be, was she honest about her affiliation with SDT? And that is an issue for her and her sisters/sorors. (Of course this is a message board so it's never our business anyway;))

Even if her NPHC org doesn't care, you could still inform SDT nationals of her dishonesty, I'd be pissed if I were you.

I don't know about SDT, but there's not really rules about it on the NPC side...

Do you think she really cares? The girl has pictures of her in NPHC letters, stepping, etc. for all of the world including her SDT sisters to see. If she really cared, she would've been more, ahem, discreet about it.

That's a good point, but if it were possible, I would hope that nationals would do SOMETHING about it (if she were still officially a member) just for the interest of my org and the idea of a lifetime member and all that.

I understand she probably wouldn't care either way though.

Not completely sure, but I do believe it has been mentioned on GC that at least 1 NPHC sorority does not allow dual membership.

If SDT doesn't have a rule against it (only within the NPC does the NPC have such a rule) then I don't know why it's a bad thing from SDT's standpoint. If it was Gamma Sigma Sigma instead would that be different?

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....

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.

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.

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.

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

Oh you're just so damned smart, aren't you? LOLOL

Ditto for DST.

I agree. And like tell us what NPHC org she joined. :)

How do you join anything through Facebook?

She found out, through Facebook. :)

Or just tell us what colors they were wearing. :D

Yall need to stop frontin'. Yall don't get mad when a black woman marries a white man, divorces him, and then marries a black man. In fact, some would be happy that a sista came to her senses! Same thang with this.

I call nonsense post on you.

Good point. Or how many fingers she was holding up in her pictures. ;)

ShamikaT, so creative with your comparisons. Yet. . .
