Suppose, hypothetically that I was a young lady in freshman year with good grades, etc. and I wanted to rush the NPHC sororities, and I don't know anything about Alpha Kappa Alpha, Sigma Gamma Rho, Zeta Phi Beta or Delta Sigma Theta? (Assume that all 4 groups are on campus) What is the process please? Do you check out all of them, so as to make an informed decision, or is it best just to approach only one (even if you don't know anyone in that one sorority, or in any of the other BGLO sororities).

I would like to expand my knowledge of both the NPC and the NPHC systems, and any helpful, informative posts would be appreciated. Thank you!

Dredging up the past: My take. How would I go about it these days?

1) I would have completed 1 semester (or 2 quarters) as a FULL TIME, non-remediated student. At some universities/college you are not allowed to join until your sophomore year. Then, you need at least a B average. Even if others say you just need a minimum GPA requirement, aim higher!
2) I would search EVERYTHING from the National PanHellenic Council on my local college campus and internationally.
3) If you are attending school outside of your hometown, then this summer, you would want to attend some functions if you are able. Some cities have small gatherings for families. Much more, you it is very wise to get to know the elders at your church.
4) Lastly, when you have made a choice, attend ALL FUNCTIONS of the organization of your choice. Find time, make an effort and remember, Grades and class units!
5) Familiarize yourself with the members on your campus. Also, familiarize yourself with the older members on your campus. Confidence is key and you need to know yourself and what you can do to still be successful in college. Your first objective at the undergraduate level is college.
6) Partying like a rock star will cause you to be looked over as a PNM.
7) Any letters need to be reviewed professionally.
8) Is it wise to say anything? Your questions you ever had to ask, ask how you can best serve your NPHC organization of your choice.
