I've read this thread two times now, just in case I missed something.
I am a member of a NPC sorority, but I have a best friend who's in a NPHC Frat. Him and I have argued over this same issue sooo many times. The truth is that simply put, GLO's and BGLO's just do things like Recruitement differently.
From everything my friend and I have discussed NPC has stricter rules and enforcement of said rules for Rush then most (not all) BGLO's. We (NPC) are basically told how to do things. So, we work with the system the best we can. I'm sure that in both BGLO's and GLO's there are sooo many things which go on behind closed doors concerning potential pledges/new members. These things are particular to that house/organization. Hence they cannot be discussed.
All I have to say is that after going through both sides of Rush...a rushee and as a sister I wondered how the h#ll I got in. The thing is that more goes on then meets the eye. NPC organizations are particular about who they let in. We want rushees who have the desire to diversify, build, uphold, and ensure our sisterhood. Not, everyone is meant to be XYZ, not everyone is meant to be ABC.
At my school, as I said above, we hold deferred Rush in the Spring semester. So, we know these girls, because those who want to join have made themselves known to us. It isn't quite the guessing game or game of chance which I feel has been portrayed here of the NPC system.
Thanks,
