Older & Interested
 
Hello Ladies, I have a question that I've been longing to ask. I would like to address this question to everyone but especially those who are 25 and over. I am older and will be returning back to school in September (undergrad better late then never :-). I am very interested in your organization. I am curious to know,If I express any interest how do you think I'll be perceived? And what type of advice, or words of wisdom can you offer to me.

Yours truly,
I'mCurious

Thanks Tricia25
"Be encouraged no matter what's going on he'll alright but you got to be strong." If you don't mind I have another question. I have been doing some research because I know it's important. If this question is not appropriate please let me know. I know that the NPHC has abolished hazing,and pledging. For as long I can remember that was considered a normal voyage in to Greekhood with fraternities and sororities. And that it was meant to create bonds of brothers and sisters. Unfortunately some individuals in various organization took things too far. Thus leading to the abolishment of "pledging & hazing". Has this been a challenge for you and your sisters in developing intake processes?

I am one year younger than you and I have thought about the same thing. The bottom line is what you desire the most. If you feel that the undergraduate chapter isn't right for you, you could try a graduate chapter. My opinion is, age should not matter to you, the only thing that should matter is the life long dedication to the organization.
Good Luck.
