The NPHC 21st Century and Beyond.
Actually this is a spin-off of another topic I was having with alumni involving HBCU's and our future in the 21st century and beyond, so I would like to talk on the NPHC Greek life aspect of it. (Not trying to not include NIC and NPC, but I don't know much about your orgs inner workings and don't even want to attempt that, but if it does fit you all as well please feel free to join in)
Do you believe in this day and age, particularly with the rise of productive citizens in the community without Bachelors Degrees that the doors should be opened to allow alumni membership to those that have either excelled in their field or those who may only two year degrees?
I remember 10 years ago when I was fresh out of college this was actually brought up as topic of conversation concerning allowing community college students the ability to intake in the Collegiate city-wide chapter. Of course I was dead set against it. Now that I actually have some life experience (LOL) my mind has sort of changed on that. Just want to hear your opinions, pros, cons, personal stories, ideas in general.
Would it feel like we were watering down our respective orgs, by lowering our expectations? Are we limiting ourselves by not tapping into the potential of those that either aren't or feel their career path does not include a four year degree?
Just a query.
