This could get a little sticky because really, all the NPC groups should get a have a "fair chance" with the prospective alumnae intiates (a la Collegiate Recruitment)? I say this because, from what I have learned about the NPHC groups (via GC), you really should know the one that you want (i.e. "do your research") and pursue that one only.

With NPC, we're a bit more forgiving about "shopping around" to find "the right fit". Also, one of the things about my fraternity, is that they take pride in that in the majority of members invited, collegians choose collegians for membership, and that was what was originally intended when the Fraternity was started. I think if there was a formal "intake" period...now you're getting into a grey area, because do all the alumnae groups have a "fair shot" at Prospective Alumnae Initiates? In the collegiate arena, all the collegiate chapters get a "fair shot" at the PNM. If there was one group stating a formal intake period....it could "ruffle" the feathers of other alumnae chapters in the city...hard to say.
