you know..........things like that.

Macallan25, I hope you didn't have to learn these things through personal experience.

Dreamingbeauty,

There are several women's Sorority umbrella organizations. The 2 largest ones are National Panhellenic Conference (NPC) and the National PanHellenic Council (NPHC)--that also collaborates with all the historically Black greek lettered fraternities.

I am telling you this because, as you stated, you would like to join a NPHC affiliate. 12dst gave you some very good insight, please examine them. However, your PRIMARY ISSUE is to finish high school, get accepted into college and GO TO COLLEGE because that is extremely important for all NPHC affiliates.

The second issue is NPC has membership recruitment that is a bidding process. They generally accept quite a few freshmen, whereas, NPHC has a historically collegiate merit-based membership that generally accepts sophomores and is lifelong after graduation. There is an area for membership recruitment on the board. You are free to peruse the topics.

Who do you know in your friend, family, church, etc. that influenced you to want to do this? How can searching this site help you? What do you actually know about college and greek life? Just asking.

Just wanted to point out that NPC SHOULD be lifelong as well.

NPC organizations also are lifelong after graduation.

WOW, a major posting thread for a H S girl looking toward her future.

Guess from this, she will not want to join anyone now!

DA!

If she decides not to join a sorority based on a messageboard, I'd say she did the sorority a favor.

I am sure with help unneeded she may make that decision!

Your help is always welcomed?

You are not so positive are you? Do you have a problem?
