Sometimes it is hard for me to gauge what exactly to say and not to say on threads such as this. Perhaps you should post your humble inquiry in the Delta Sigma Theta, Alpha Kappa Alpha, Zeta Phi Beta, OR Sigma Gamma Rho forums. I don't think anyone will go too in depth, but they may shed some light on this topic for you.

If there is that period of time, what do you call it? NPC groups usually call it a new member period or program (which used to be called pledgeship). What is the term for someone who has just accepted an offer to join an NPHC group, or do they not have a term at all? Maybe we could call the new category "New Member Period" "New Members" "New Membership" or something similar. What term would best describe this period, assuming we all have it, and not have a negative connotation to any group from a national perspective?
