Gina_lynn,
The National Panhellenic Conference does try to promote (and promote thru the college panhellenics) to “Go Greek” rather than “Go XYZ.” What’s best for one person might not be best for the other, and so on, but they want as many women as possible to experience the opportunities that come with Greek life. They don’t want women to get their hearts set on one thing and then be disappointed. I would say in NPC that women mostly join because of the sisters they meet at that chapter at their school, rather than the national philanthropy or whatever. You develop your loyalty to your chapter and to your national sorority through the experiences you have.
I think I know what you are getting at….we had a woman who started pledging Sig Chi little sisters, quit, joined PSK little sisters, quit, started pledging Phi Sigma Sigma, quit, started pledging Tri-Sigma, quit. By that time she was a total joke.
With the amount of research and commitment that is put into deciding to join a BGLO – I can understand why someone who flip-flops from one to the other would be “looked down” on. But honestly, I think a lot of it is just because there are 26 NPC groups as opposed to 4 NPHC groups. If there were only 5 or 6 NPC groups I’m willing to bet the situation would be similar to that of NPHC.
