What's the significance of sharing this? Politics is everywhere. It simply manifests itself differently based on the context.

This "most of the time" is based on what? If there are "chapters, some states and regions" that better prepare people then why make this point in the first place? Nothing is 100% and that includes how well IFC orgs supposedly prepare members for the real world.
Perhaps some collegiates are simply too immature to see the forest through the trees. For instance while some NPHCers think the main point of step shows is to beat the competition and stroll around in 'nalia, the main point is really to learn planning, fundraising, leadership, and networking skills. On another note, folks need to stop expecting BGLOs to make them into men and women. We provide networking opportunities and teach many strong points, including developing a skill-base. However, "lifetime commitment" doesn't mean that we hold your hand through college and the rest of your life.

I hope this wasn't rhetorical because my answer is "not difficult at all" based on my experiences with NHQ and various alumnae chapters across the country. I see worthy people donating SIGNIFICANTLY to worthy causes when they know their contributions will not be wasted. If you read your frat's journal publication you will probably see the SIGNIFICANT contributions from the Alpha grad chapters and nhq--at least other organizations include that info in their publications.
And I'm not "offended" by anything that you posted but I wanted clarity on the things I quoted. I know that some people on this board take one NPHCer's opinion as golden so it's important to be clear that these are opinions and nothing more.
