You are not a member of those orgs, so you (nor I) won't ever really know why they chose not to show up - but for you to assume it was simply them being ignorant shows a bit of naviety/ignorance on your part.
Also, to clarify, the NPHC orgs have a membership intake process - that is the official term they use once they elected to get rid of pledging (& make it illegal). Latin & multicultural greeks have what most call an intake process. A one-word difference, but the M.I.P. phrase is something especially (I believe exclusively) for the NPHC. The conotations of the different words mean very different things.
Just trying to clarify it for you.

i wasnt trying to come across as ignorant i was told by several friends who are nphc memembers why they didnt want to come... but at the same time i think you are right i really cant speak for them. its a hard situation to explain the way i want to explain it without knowing the school. greek life here is very segregated for the most part and its just alot of really bad tension and tons of stuff... i just hope it gets better but anyways i really do appreciate the clarification because i wasnt aware of that difference in the orgs process.
