Joining two

Couple of comments to add to Senusret I.

I'm making the assumption that this is Alpha Phi Omega.* I'd talk to the brothers in the Alpha Phi Omega chapter to see if any of them are also in one of the NPHC sororities, if any of them are in the NPHC sorority that you want to join, and *which* order that they joined. In general, I find that Alpha Phi Omega chapters would be *much* more open about that. (And if they aren't, let me know)

Also, the term "pledged" can be tricky. While Alpha Phi Omega still generally uses the term pledging, the NPHC fraternities and sororities officially do *not*. (To the NPHCs, pledging=hazing)

As Senusret pointed out, the path will vary according to which school *and* which NPHC sorority, though my *guess* is that the younger the NPHC sorority, the less likely you are to get static. Also, there *may* be less of an issue for joining Alpha Phi Omega after joining the NPHC sorority, though again, a guess. The one thing that I have seen is that for the NPHCs, grad chapters don't care about other student organizations that you have joined unless it is another NPHC.

I'm glad that you asked the question, I hope that we can help.

*(It could *conceivably* be Kappa Kappa Psi, but most of the HBCUs have Tau Beta Sigma as well)
