I spoke with a woman in my city council who was 18 when she joined sorority. (She's now 50+) She started out in a Nu Phi Mu chapter. According to her, NPM are reserved for girls the ages 18-22. So girls who enter that chapter MUST be of that age. That's the reason why there are so little NPM chapters left. Most girls wind up doing a traditional Ritual of Jewels chapter. It's on the same format as the NPM chapter, but allows for more flexibility than the NPM. I don't know where International stands on this, but this is only what I've heard from someone who's actually been in a NPM chapter....wayyyyyyyyyyy back when. LOL Hope that this helps.
