I can't say why people would join locals, but I joined an NPC for a lot of reasons, one of the biggest being the rich history and traditions. There is something sacred to know you are participating in the same ritual that has been handed down for so many years, and was written when women were not even allowed to vote. The struggle that they had to even be given an education and the things they went through means a lot to me. I'm also very proud that my sorority doesn't endorse hazing. AT ALL. And the ideals it represents. Every time I see my badge it reminds me of those ideals, and that I must do my best every day to live up to them. That I truly am inspired to the highest type of womanhood. That is why I chose Gamma Phi and I'm just over the moon that Gamma Phi chose me as well. Even years after graduating!
