I do too....once they have a semester to get adjusted to college life. When you are away from home and your parents' constant supervision for the first time you have a lot of learning to do. You can't be in the 160 clubs and activities like you were in high school. It's easy to bite off more than you can chew and get into something without realizing its gravity. NPHC members know that before they even decide to pursue membership formally. The proper time to understand the responsibilities of Greek life is before you receive a bid, not after.
Jeni, AFAIK (and someone please correct me if I'm wrong) you cannot join an NPHC group ANYWHERE if you have not completed at least one semester of college. This applies to AKA, DST, ZPhiB, SGRho, APhiA, Omega Psi Phi, KApsi, Phi Beta Sigma and Iota Phi Theta. Anyone else, it doesn't. Does that answer your question?
