Truthfully, many non-NPHC men/women may not have any idea of what the ideals/foundations of your organizations are. My cousin is a Delta, but she doesn't tell me squat when I ask her questions(and I'm not speaking about secret traditions/goings-on), nor does she even participate in her alumnae chapter (she claims it's too expensive, yet she just bought a $90,000 car!!)!
So, this is a great educational piece in that sense....
I know that, from my own personal observations, I haven't seen NPC sororities participate this fully in civic and political issues (like the ways stated in this great article) AND THEY SHOULD!!!! I've seen little teaser legislative lobbying here and there...but nothing as powerfully influential as this....
I was out to dinner the other night and my friend got all defensive because I was upset that both her best friend and her mother (who are MY Tri Sigma sisters) care NOTHING about what goes on in the sorority and she sniped at me and said "SOME of us just don't give a isht about that stuff after college!"
Well, thanks for the heartfelt support
...but one of my many missions in life is to show alumnae sorority women that there is relevance and power to be had by participating in NPC life post college....You join in college, and now you can join after college, and the majority of your life is as an alumna, NOT a collegiate,. Your pledge ISN'T to be an active collegiate and that's it, it's to commit to the welfare, promotion, and continual growth of your sorority for life!!!
