I don't know that I would argue this. My best friend is Vietnamese (first generation american) and she never even looked into anything other than NPC sororities. She is super preppy and is in love with all things sorority. I don't think she ever regretted joining the NPC.

My post is a generalization so your friend doesn't refute my point.

That I can personally attest to. When I rushed for this one asian sorority, literally everyone knew each other one way and the other that was hard for me to join conversations. I don't mean to say it in a bad way, but it's like they would rather have girls that they knew already to join their org then someone who just randomly jumped in. It was sad that they the actives would just strike conversations with girls that they know and talk about people in their circle. Needless to say, I performed really poor

Being in commuter school with a small greek system and not knowing anything about greek, I was under the false assumption that you can rush for only one GLO, and I didn't know anything about NPC.

If I had known about NPCs earlier in my school career, I would have rushed for them. Knowing that they could widen my horizons way more than a cultural interest org becuase the girls that I met in some NPC orgs are so diversified in many areas. I know some asian girls who are really satisfied with their NPC orgs.
