I'm probably repeating something that was said before, but I'm gonna through my 22 cents in anyway...
I grew up in a very diverse area, yet when I was growing up, I definately knew about NPHC sororities. Most NPHC'ers feel that membership and involvement is a lifelong commitment, and so I had teachers and mentors that were sorority members, and you knew it. So going to college I already knew about the 4 NPHC sororities, but I didn't know anything about NPC recruitment. Coming in as a freshman I would have totally missed out, cause I never got any information about it.
I think a lot of African Americans still gravitate towards NPHC orgs because of two reasons: our community service projects directly benefit our communities, and also because of the history of our organizations. I'm not saying that I can't do community service for other groups of people, but it gives me a sense of giving back when I help teenage mothers, or raise money for sickle cell, or donate money for grain grinders in Africa.
Overall, people gravitate towards what's good for them. For me, it happened to be a NPHC sorority. I personally have friends in NPC, NPHC, and multicultural sororities, and all of them are happy with the choice they made.
