I understand what you're saying and I do believe your heart is in the right place.

The processes for seeking membership in NPHC sororities is so totally different from NPC orgs.

It seems to me from GC and from knowing real-life NPC women that if you're looking to join an NPC based on some sort of national stereotype, no matter how complimentary, then it won't work -- you need to be committed to the notion of joining an NPC org in general. You can't just say "Hey, Tri Delts are all pretty and classy and that fits my personality" because it will change from campus to campus, and the fact that the Tri Delts may not want you on your campus. Or that it might not be the right fit at all.

Now personally, I feel like if you like the AKAs and you have them on your campus, you should do your research and decide if you want to pursue it. The AKAs I know wouldn't necessarily allow race to be a factor in determining your worthiness.

But for God's sake, if you pursue it, please don't tell us on GC about it until after you've been initiated, if you make it. GC won't be the place to ask questions about NPHC sorority pursuit.
