But it seems so much more a part of general culture to know about NPHC, even if you aren't in the orgs, that I absorbed a lot of that info, whereas with the NPCs, even hanging around with NPC people, there is still a lot that I don't know. Trying to learn more, though - it's really interesting.

I suspect that NPHC groups are just more interesting to you on some level so you just pick up on the NPHC stuff faster. Personally, I know I oftern went out of my way to avoid discussing NPC greek life with non members because I felt like I was boring them. Maybe your NPC friends feel similarly? Have you ever asked your NPC friends to talk to you about their experiences?
Also, I think it really depends on the campus. You feel it's much more of the culutre to know about NPHC, I'd disagree with that based on my personal experiences. (I attended a school with a huge population but very few black students.) I was shocked when I learned that there were members of DST at my school. I was excited to learn they were there, but my reaction could be summed up as "where have they been hiding?". ((hijack. My junior high pe teacher used to wear her
DSQ track suit to school. I believe it was the first set of greek letters I had seen in real life. /hijack))
