Joining a NPHC organization outside of your school's chapter

It seems to me like there is a chapter at your school but they just aren't that into you.

Before you 'assume' that the chapter at my school isn't 'that into me', wouldn't it be appropriate to ask my reasoning behind seeking membership elsewhere? I am not the type of person to try to be somewhere I am not wanted.

If this helps any, the chapter at my school recently got suspended for hazing and discrimination. Though the girls at my school know that I am an interest, it is likely they will be suspended for a few years since this is their second time in three years getting 'in trouble' for hazing. Sadly, I'll be gone soon. I just wanted to know if seeking membership elsewhere was possible.

I would prefer if responses to this were actually helpful and not suggestive or accusatory. Thank you.

If you gave us ALL the pertinent information, you'd get better answers. Don't leave out information like this. You need to ask someone at the national office. They are the final arbitor.

Thank you. I contacted them today and got an answer/explanation!

Oh riiiiight, that's convenient.

You should know NPHC membership questions are not appropriate online. That is why no one will give an answer. I'm in an NPC and even I know that.

Thank you for your sarcasm, criticism, accusatory comments, and feeling the need to answer a question on a topic that you admitted to not being an expert on. Why should the peasant attempt to handle the queen's matters?

'Cause the peasant has a lot more sense than the queen, bless her heart?

Clearly not enough sense to become royalty themselves, correct?

Hmmm . . . to my way of thinking, Greek royalty are those who've got their letters, not those who merely aspire to them.

And a foreign Royal is still of a higher station than a native commoner.

Now, someone fetch me my tea and biscuits.

Who said 'Greek royalty'? Perfect example of what I was talking about. When peasants attempt to interfere with royalty, they simply become... 'misguided'. Shame. But thank you for completely changing the meaning of my analogy in an attempt to make a snide remark. Just what I needed.

Only if we cared.

Ditto. What you presented in your first post =/= second post. Rather, the reasoning why you'd want/need to join another chapter differs.

Scenario 1: Can you join a chapter at another school because a. they're just not that into you or b. you don't think you've had the proper opportunity to pursue membership (i think it's the former, agreeing with Old Row)?

Scenario 2: Can you join a chapter at another school because a. the chapter got suspended/prevented from bringing new members in and b. you're going to graduate by the time the chapter gets off suspension?

You seem to care enough to read my posts, dissect them, respond, and bold the parts that interested you.

I'm not sure what you think '=/=' between my two posts. Like I said before, it's very likely that the chapter at my school will be suspended for a while (though it'd be sad to see them go) and I'm graduating soon. I'm not sure why you would assume they're not 'into me'. Once again, like I said before, I'm not the type of person who tries to be somewhere I'm not wanted.

So to answer your question about my question, 'Scenario 2' is what would apply.
