Fourth time (various reasons beyond my control {except 1st time}) was the charm for me. AKA truly was and
*IS* the only way for me. I had the opportunity to join another organization that was "easier" to get into (as others have mentioned), but I didn't want to go out like that. I would have considered it a great disappointment and failure on my part if I never made it, but I don't have to worry about that now.

I guess that depends on the person. Judging from all of the "testimonials" in this forum, it *must* be more common than it *should* be. I don't know any "flip-floppers" personally, but some of my line sisters do. Let's just say it's a "recent" occurrence in our "neck-of-the-woods"; as Forrest Gump would say, "That's all I have to say about that."

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.

1) That's true...to an extent. It may depend on the chapter and the members & prospectives involved. With that said, we *do* pay close attention and investigate! "Big Sister" (as opposed to "Big Brother") is *ALWAYS* watching!!!
2) No isht! And, that saddens me (even as a neophyte!). As our Soror Moderator mentioned before, you have to watch out for the "T-shirt wearers".
