The generalization that YOU stated is true. Aspirants to NPHC organizations do not wear letters before initiation.
Other generalizations that are being made by NPHC members here and non-NPHC members can be detrimental to the organizations.
Technically, an organization cannot tell you what colors to wear or not to wear as part of the rush process. There MAY be a dress code, but a dress code is different from saying "You may not wear my organization's colors to rush." A dress code is one thing -- forbidding someone from wearing certain colors is another.
As far as intake goes, t is not universally true that NPHC members may not wear the colors of the organization while they are participating in membership intake.
It is not universally true that the colors of an NPHC organization are equal in value to the letters. And I really wish that NPHC members in particular would stop making this generalization, since we only really know about our own organizations.
It is not universally true that the membership intake process is secret. What happens during membership intake is discreet, but, DEPENDING ON THE ORG, you can learn quite easily the duration of intake and what it generally entails.
Some NPHC organizations do indeed have pledge pins, others do not.
My problem is not with people who are seeking information -- it's fine to be curious. I just want to make sure that people know that every NPHC intake process is different, and some things cannot be generalized.
