I believe that even in NPHC organizations each org does things differently when it comes to membership. Some organizations do rush other don't So...to apply the term RUSH to another sorority, within the NPHC without having true insight into their membership process WOULD BE INCORRECT!!!

The Term Rush has double meanings for some organziations...you must be clear in how you use the term...because evidence has shown that activities that one sorority does and calls it "RUSH" it not at all similiar to another organizations' idea of "RUSH".

Thus, like I said before it is alright to attend one sorority's community service event and then attend another sorority's party or community service...whatever they're having.

For example...Community service events shoud be meant for the public participation...how would anyone know that you are interested in the organization if people from all walks of life are participating in the community service...Some organizations do have community service which is not just open to women in the sorority, but to men, children, other women ( older women, college aged women, etc)

How would someone from the sorority, whose event that you are attending even know that you are interested unless the event you are attending..the only people there are sorority members and interested members...then you would feel a bit out of place for making your presence known if you're not yet seriously interested in the organization.

So my final advice...be careful what events you attend...attend the organziation's open public events (if they have any) and read all about the organizations too...that a really good way to gain more insight if you're afraid to show up to an event out of fear that sorority members would expect you to be interested in thie organziation because you're at one of their events. Whether it be RUSH or not.
