Do you think that the organizations when they were founded (NPHC and NPC) were more similar in style, goals, etc. that perhaps they are today? (ex. the very formalized NPC rush vs. the NPHC process for offering membership) I'm guessing that in the early 1900s, sorority and fraternity rushes were a bit different than they are today.

No, the question doesen't sound ignorant. I honestly don't know. I know that faily quickly, BGLOs took on the "public service" aspect of their organizations because of the social possition of African-Americans at that time. As far as I understand, it took a little longer for GLOs to do that (please correct me if I am wrong). I also imagine that formal Rush became a neccecity only after so many organizations were formed, which would have taken some time. I know our MIPs are a growing and evolving process, I would image most Greek organizations have gone through some changes.
