I think what Rudy means is that if you want o participate ine xtracurricular activites then you do so on your own dime.

oh, we do!! and the upfront money to join is VERY costly!! the university doesn't assist with intake fees at all!!! but consider the fees of the student that has only enough time to go to class and work for their sorority. what happens to their fees when their chapter president needs to go to a national convention or face chapter suspension or fines and the chapter can't afford to send them? this is just a VERY realistic example i'm using to convey my point.

I definitly agree with you here. I myself have no understanding about NPHC membership selection. But is there any way these groups could educate school officials about membership selection, of course without revealing what non-members are not supposed to know?

well of course, and i'm sure that the black greeks at pitt are waiting for the opportunity to tell the school officials!! i wonder if they were even asked...

and i just want to add that our membership selection process isn't 100% secretive. our national website even address membership intake and selection.
