I agree with everything that has been said here. But here in the South there is no next time if you talk about AKA and DST. If one doesn't make it on their first attempt then they can hang it up. Now I always tell Kappa interest if it didn't work out for you in undergrad, don't stop pursuing Kappa. But that applies to everyone. Nowadays however, people don't want to wait. They get discouraged and if another organization comes along they jump at it. We had that happen at FSU this year where a young lady submitted for AKA and didn't make it. The following year she's coming out on the line of another organiztion. Everyone knows this and it's not a secret.Which had me stumped. Clearly the new organization would have heard about this. I guess we can add this post with other posts on GC recently about the state of the NPHC. There is no tradition or history anymore. People view us as mere clubs or as agencies to help them get a job or into grad school. .
