Blacks that rush NPC

I asked her once why she joined AOII and not an NPHC group and she said that she didn't want to deal with all the bullcrap involved with those groups in order to get in (I have no idea what that "crap" is because I know next-to-nothing about NPHC groups, sadly... apparently recruitment for them is a very secretive and drawn-out process, at least on my campus...). And that she felt that she needed to help AOII get on its feet as a chapter (we were a colony last year).

NPC or NPHC... it's whatever you want it to be, really. I don't think you should have a problem "fitting in" at all. And when you go through recruitment you'll have a good idea of the chapters that like you and the chapters that you like so it'll be easier to see which one is the right fit for you.

Oddly enough, there is one white girl in my school's Zeta chapter... she's so cute and really looks like she belongs there and is wanted by her sisters (she's in ALL their pictures looking like she is having the time of her life.) AND, there is one white guy who's a Sigma at my school. Go figure. They seem to be very happy.

You'll be happy too, whatever you choose!

Actually I hear the NPHC organzations are easier to get into since you decide which house you want and go from there? The NPCs I hear are the ones that pick and choose while YOU personally pick your NPHC house. Dont quote me on this I heard this somewhere else but maybe that's how it was at that school? That's pretty strange coming from NPHC?

a PNM can say "omg i'm going to be a Zeta Tau Alpha," an interest can say "omg i'm going to be a Zeta Phi Beta."

just because the approach differs between NPC and NPHC doesnt make one easier than the other.

Depending on the school you go to in the South, or the Midwest, you could be limiting yourself to the lowest tier groups on your campus. I'm not hating, I'm just saying.

Ok so it's just different titles for the people interested depending on the conference.

The NPHC and NPC have two completely different recruitment and intake processes so it's like comparing apples to oranges. And I don't know who told you that the NPHC selection process was easy but you should smack them because they lied to you. And there is no such thing as selecting an NPHC house since we don't use that term and most of our chapters don't have houses. We don't do the bid thing either or any of that so trying to compare NPHC and NPC will likely confuse you if you don't have much knowledge on this topic. And you can personally pick what NPHC group you want to pursue and you can pursue that org as hard as your little heart desires and still not get selected to go thru intake. In the end, the chapter members select who they want (which doesn't mean by the way that you shouldn't do what's necessary to try and get selected).
