....What a crock!. NPC would like you to believe every house is just like every other, just with different colors and badges. Had I not gotten to know the house's culture first, I would not have joined.
I miss the opportunity for leadership. Today's collegians are expected to conform. "Go along to get along" should have no place in the Greek system.

Wow, that's kind of an extreme view DGTess. I'll agree with you that some of the PNM vs rushee stuff is pretty lame...I mean, it is what it is. Sorority RUSH. Pledging. Initiation. Lifetime Membership. But in the big picture, all the NPC groups are pretty much the same at the national/international level, and they all offer very similar programming and membership opportunities.
Each individual chapter and the individual members are unique and create their own chapter culture at any given time. I don't think there's any less opportunities for leadership or an expectation to conform particularly. just curious why you feel that way!
