Yes, we had recognized interest groups. But they were ruled illegal (at least in DST) when they were used for 1) pre-pledging, 2) people assumed if they were in an interest group they would automatically become a pledge and 3) chapters started using them for fundraising. (Among other reasons I am sure.)

However, there were no pins or other outward manifestations of being in an interest group (at least there weren't supposed to be.) Initially they were really just a way for a group of like-minded young women to learn about their org of interest and support them. Somewhat like the Sigma's or Zeta's (sorry can't remember which one) official non-member group, but not as formalized.

And yes, if you were known to be in the interest group for one org and changed your mind, chances are you wouldn't be accepted by another.

Dr. Phil thanks for the QFPs. I can't believe I missed this discussion. I also agree that it sounds as if the OP needs to reserach the NPHC better. Her use of terminology and certain perceptions are way off.
