Southern Mississippi: Diversity in NPC Sororities

I would like to point out that simply because a sister joined an org via COB rather than FR, it doesn't necessarily mean that she didn't go through Formal Rush.

However, I think that anyone with patience and the intelligence to understand the rules could do just as well as some of the Rho Chis I've known over the years.

Ah, good point!

I don't think it's an issue of learning and implementing rules here. If that was the case, we could probably have men as Rho Chis too.

Quite frankly, I wonder how someone who joined in the NPHC mindset (research all the groups, choose the one that is best for you, keep your mouth sealed shut while doing these things, if at first you don't succeed keep trying for that group) could successfully divorce herself from it enough to be an effective Rho Chi. As in, a Rho Chi who can, from the heart, tell a woman that she needs to look at ALL the groups and give them ALL a chance.

If she is an NPHC woman who doesn't have that mindset, my guess is that she or her chapter is somewhat unique to her org as a whole. This is just what I've gleaned from years on GC.

Again, to me it's like the APO member who was an IFC president. Our methods of choosing members are COMPLETELY different. Could an APO member read about IFC rush and make a "textbook" decision about it? Yes. Do they understand what it's like doing it in real life? No.
