a serious question

gillman · #1 03-23-2005, 02:09 PM

I pledged a sorority that I thought was going to be the bomb and it wasnt. On the fourth day I decided that I was going to drop. Is it to late to join another sorority?

Is this an NPC group, an NPHC group, or a local group?

nphc

I think I know what the answer is, but rather than misspeak I'll let an NPHC member answer it instead if they like.

i am an NPHC member. while you actually CAN renounce your membership to one of our organizations, once you do so, it is almost UNHEARD of for another NPHC organization to accept you as a member, since membership into one of our orgs is a LIFELONG commitment.

i have heard of many NPHC members choosing to not be active(that happens all the time) and i have heard of NPHC members who have in fact contacted their nationals and asked to renounce their membership (usually after developing a different set of personal convictions after they already joined, i.e., a religious or spiritual "awakening" or conversion), however, if you did that and tried to join another NPHC organization, that would be HEAVILY frowned on and I think there's a 99.9% chance your application would be declined. please PM me.

Were you pledging or did you already cross?

Ok, question for NPHC members:
If you're pledging NPHC and decide to leave, can you pledge another NPHC, or is that just not done?

ladygreek · #9 03-23-2005, 03:33 PM

HPHCs don't pledge.

If someone is going through ***membership intake*** for an organization and decides not to complete this process, this person is not a member if this person is not duly inducted.

While that is generally unnacceptable in NPHC organizations, especially given the timelines for membership intake, there are some instances where that person is accepted and inducted into another organization.

Sometimes the second organization of choice does not know the person had pursued another organization first. When that organization finds out, the person may be viewed differently or not.

I was four days into the pledging process with one specific African-american sorority. I thought I like these girls at first but while in the process I noticed that these were girls that I did not want to call sisters.

Whatever "pledging process" means.

Why are you asking us and not the OTHER sorority that you are interested in?

If I were you, i would leave it alone. Im sure the Greek community at your school knows your story. IMO no one is going to MIP you after you walked away from the other situation after only 4 days.

If you did it to one, whatever your reason, why should the new sorority trust that you would do it to them? You seem wishy-washy.

Leave it alone Greek life isn’t for you.
