Brobuzz,
You are reading WAYYYY too much into my posts, lol.
I am NOT saying that NPC/NIC organizations aren't active on my campus. What I am saying is that I see the same few people from each organization out at philanthropy events...not a slew of the 100+ people in the chapter. GW's SigEp is one of the best SigEp chapters in the country and I respect them for it. GW's ADPi is also excellent.
My interaction with those organzations was NOT just rushees like you assumed. I saw them before, during, and after they were pledging all BEFORE I even thought about joining my own organization (I pledged in the Spring).
I honestly think you are blowing this way out of proportion. Nowhere did I say that all NPC/NIC organizations are bad...in fact if you look at the missions of ALL Greek organizations you usually have something along the lines of sisterhood/brotherhood, service, academic excellence.
When I only see the same 10 people from NPC/NIC organizations out at events, it makes me wonder greatly. Additionally, many organizations send their pledges instead, so the members aren't even participating. I have some very good friends who are in NIC/NPC organizations who are just as committed to their organizations as I am committed to my own.
You blew my post way out of proportion and assumed many things based either past experiences or preconcieved notions about what people "imply" in their posts.
I strongly encourage you to take a better look at my posts before you assume things, as you will cause unnecessary stress for yourself.
