Well, correct me if I'm wrong here, but several of the representatives from GLO's outside of the NPHC have stated on this thread that the initiation costs are available to anyone who has an interest in knowing them.

Would someone who's entering college as a freshman and already knows that they may want to join a GLO be able to access that information before coming to school?

If I recall correctly, didn't a few people say that the initiation costs of their organization can be found on the website?

I believe that anyone who has a strong interest in joining would be more proactive in learning as much information as they can beforehand, as to make a more informed decision when the time does come for him or her to join.

But I could be thinking in an idealistic manner because unfortunately, I'm not sure how things work for NPC, IFC, and NIC organizations. So please, I encourage anyone to enlighten me if I am wrong in this instance.

But I am glad that forums like this exist because I am learning much more than I did while I was an undergrad.
A lot of the cost vary by chapter as well as by organization, so that can add to the confusion. Some campuses are more expensive than others.

One of the differences between NPC and NPHC groups is that a lot of women that join NPCs haven't had the exposure growing up to NPC orgs in the way that NPHC women may. So they don't come to college knowing what org they're going to join. Some do, but that's no where near guaranteed. The whole approach to membership selection and potential members choosing an org is very different.

Glad you're learning a lot from the boards, I certainly have!
