One other thing: There are two excellent books out that explain the NPHC system in detail: The Divine Nine: The History of African-American Fraternities and Sororities in America By Lawrence C. Ross, Jr. (who is also a GreekChat member) and In Search of Sisterhood: Delta Sigma Theta and the Challenge of the Black Sorority Movement by Paula Giddings.
Both books are available from Amazon.com, and may be in your university or local public library.
