What I've learned from being on these forums is that NPHC tends on the whole to view membership as more of a lifetime commitment and thus something that deserves a long period of research, education, service, and self-improvement before membership can be granted. It's also due to the fact that each NPHC has a missional identity that is very well-developed and distinct. While all kinds of women join the NPHC sororities, they are very focused on their particular values and service and developing the same ideals.

Based on our "official intake processes" we need to know if the person we take in will do the work and pay the money as needed or in the case of an undergraduate, continually have a superior GPA. Also to give the best representation of said organization at all times. If you review our Founders, and historical membership roster, many of these women had a crisp womanliness, yet activism to change the world.
For my Sorority, my Soror Rosa Parks--do I need to say any more... How about my Soror Coretta Scott King...
Are there others in the D9 I admire--oh yeah!!! Sistergreek Mary McLeod Bethune... My grandfather would not be employed if it was not for her...
Sistergreek Zora Neal Hurston--if it was not for her, her personal account and literary style of her books would not have been studied at Bethune-Cookman University...
Sistergreek Hattie McDaniel--if it was not for her, acting in film and television for a Black woman would have NEVER happened.
Taurus--that is what we mean by doing your research... Know great members in ALL organizations that you want to emulate. You are NOT the first person to ask these questions. And you have primary source material!!! So maybe that is why some of us are
