Some students with more difficult and intense majors (engineering, pre-med, etc.) may have the perception or have heard that "when you pledge a BGLO your GPA drops". Obviously, they won't know the "real deal" until they apply and get accepted, but some students don't want to risk it (especially if they are the first person in their family to go to college). If an individual's first priority in college is the get an education, they may not want to jepardize that for ANY reason.

Not saying that this is the END ALL of reasons, but just something to ponder.

Rain Man, I forgot about non-NPHC orgs, Multicultural orgs, etc. We just have NPHC on campus at my HBCU (except for KKPsi and TBS) so I don't know the impact (if any) that these orgs have on campuses where they do exist among NPHC orgs.
