Ah to reply to the topic...on my campus (and for my fraternity specifically) we allow members and potential pledges to be a member of a social fraternity or sorority (we're co-ed) and one other professional fraternity. We do have a member that is in an NPC and another professional fraternity besides ours, but it's really rare...and very time consuming. We also have a member that's in Phi Mu Alpha as well as our fraternity...but at my school the theater and music programs pretty much try to support one another the best that we can, so it makes sense.

Define, or give examples of, a non-greek organization. It really depends.

Oh, I know plenty of members of another fraternity and Delta Iota Kappa.

Yes you can as long as it is not part of NIC, NPC, or NHPC.

Any professional or service greek named organizations are available to you.

If once you are initiated into any of the 3 councils while it is not impossible, it is almost so.

Remember the time involved and if you can afford it.

Speak for your own council. In the NPC it IS impossible.

STFU, Earpus.

I used to think the same thing. But I soon came to find out that although it's a common belief amongst the greek world, it is possible to join say an NPHC after being initiated into an NPC or vice versa. I've only heard of one case where a member went from NPHC first to NPC second. It's a lot more common from NPC to NPHC. Obviously I can't speak for all NPHC but I know of 2 NPHC organizations that don't like this, but since they don't have anything specific in their bylaws, it's possible for an interest to do. (I also know this to be the case of at least 1 NPC sorority.) After hearing so much stuff about this topic I decided to simply ask a couple of NPHC members that I know personally and it was the MEMBERS themselves who told me this about their org. Oh, it's frowned upon by all NPHC greeks and they hate it with a passion! But is it possible? Yes, it's possible. But not in those NPHC orgs that have specifically addressed this issue in their bylaws. And plus, I personally know 2 people who have pancaked between NPC and NPHC. I had an extended discussion with them as to their reasons why. I admit I was curious. Believe me, they were not shy at all - on the contrary, they were very open about their experiences. Neither one of them lied to join the seccond organization. Up until this year, I never thought it was possible either.

I'm not advertising for it. I'm not saying I agree with it because I don't. I'm just stating the facts.

Depleging yourself does not constitute imediate memory loss of the most sacred tenents of your ORG. Now if you dont mind that information becoming public knowledge and exploited by all means go right ahead.

"fidelity" More Than Just A Word!!

I never understood the purpose of depledging. As if there is a reversal ceremony to forget what you gain from your organization. The strange thing about depledgers, they are still attached to their org. Janice, a depledger of
XYZ sorority.

Disclaimer: NPHC does not pledge. They have membership intake process. If there are any similarity between the two, it's all in your mind.

I know that this thread is pretty old, but I know that several founding members of GSS were also members of an NPC organization (I forget which one(s).

I experienced GSS an AXiD at different campuses, so I didn't encounter any conflicts of any sort. As an active alum of both, I just have to make sure I wear the right pin to my meeting!
