Can I get an honest answer?

Pink,
I'm just wondering----are you familiar with the NPC sororities on your campus and their activities that they do? Sounds like you might want to do some research on them or maybe attend some of their public activities during the year. Yes, I know that this is NPC but you might need some more information. I know when I was first looking in sorority membership I did a lot of research on the different organizations. What it comes down to is that you make the best decision for you. I'm African-American and for me I chose a NPHC sorority. It came down to being the best fit for me.

I am also black and joined a NPC org. When I first entered college, I also thought that I would get judged by the color of my skin. Then I realized that was silly. Yes there are some groups out there that cater to a certain stereotype, but you cannot let that stop you from doing what you want. There are many NPC orgs that would be lucky to have you. I know women of all shapes and colors that are in NPC orgs. You just have to be the best you that you can be. I know that sounds cliche, but you cannot expect for NPC or any org for that matter to seriously consider giving you a bid when you are not confident with yourself.
If there are NPC orgs that do not want you, then you are better off without them.
