The collegiate membership focus makes sense when you consider that houses are (generally) part of the NPC tradition, but few NPHC chapters are housed. If you have multi-million dollar houses on college campuses, you have to keep them filled. In the NPC, it seems that you're tied to your specific house, whereas in the NPHC, your allegiance is to your entire organization. When you graduate and you leave that house, your ties are broken.
Still, I'm really gung-ho about alumnae initiation, and wish that those NPC groups that are open to the idea would promote it more.

Sistermadly,
I think that's a good theory. However, there are many chapters without houses. I know that that could be a valid reason, but I don't know how much weight it holds....I really hope living in a "house" really doesn't have to do with anyone's decision as to what house they want....GACK!
Good thinking....let's keep braingstorming people!
THINK OF ALL THE LOST DUES REVENUE AND FOUNDATION DONATIONS WE ARE LOSING OUT ON DUE TO "LOST" ALUMNAE!!!!
