Now that I just spent a year reading this thread, here goes:
It must depend on your campus. ECU doesn't have all nine NPHC organizations so pickings are slim for undergrads(2 soroities and 2 Fraternities). But NPC and IFC have some mixed chapters and no one cares, it's not an issue here.
I do have a problem with someone posting that NPC/IFC members only choose a chapter. That is 100% untrue! Some uneducated potential new members go with the flow, but women who have prepared for recruitment have usually looked up each organization.
I am a Kappa Delta because she is a GREAT organization, not because I happen to like Gamma Sigma chapter. I do think it is more difficult for a NPC women beacuse we cannot always join as an alumna so we do have to suck it up and join a college chapter even if we don't fit. That may be a reason many NPC women choose a chapter not a national organization, they are forced into a corner amd choose a good fit, but what NATIONAL organization you choose can make a HUGE impact on your alumnae life and how productive you are in college. It also has to do with legacies, sometimes they are DIE HARD and have to join a certain organization!
