Can I get an honest answer?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't there's anything stopping someone who's been BID by and NPC, but decides for whatever reason not to INITIATE from later joining an NPHC....

I guess this question needs to be asked (and I know it's sorta been answered by tld's thread...)...is it taboo to rush NPC and decide it's not for you, and then persue NPHC...is it sort of on the same level as persuing one NPHC, and getting nowhere, and then persuing another??? I understand if no one can/wants to answer this question.

i think it depends on the NPHC member... if someone came to me interested in my org and said:

Scenario A: I pledged an NPC, dropped my letters because i see [NPHC org] is what i really want... i'd be really hesitant and skeptical. i'd want to watch them a little. i'd lean to the side of not recommending them for membership - you know, questioning loyalty, etc. but also since i understand a LOT more how NPC rush works (i mean you ARE making a decision within a WEEK as a FRESHMAN)... i'd at least THINK about it. but if a soror came to me and said, "what you think of so-and-so?" don't think that i wont put the biz out there.

Scenario B: (after they became a member of NPHC) hey, by the way, i was an XYZ (NPC org) and here's what happened... well, @zz kicking would occur, verbally, physically, in some way because that makes you a LIAR and who wants a LIAR as a sister/soror?


Again, depends on the person how'd they react. Of course, since yall know my situation, i feel like im a little more tolerant. The next NPHC member may say "If you aren't down for XYZ from day one, then i can't mess with you - sorry."

Then of course, depends on campus culture, location, etc. I can't imagine if, for example (and here goes the train wreck) the HU Pike boys decided, hey i wanna pledge ABC, Inc. now because they're what's hot on the yard... that ABC (or any of NPHC) would be there with welcoming arms.

I think it depends on your school, as well as why you are interested in the orgs. Honestly, would you be just as happy in either type? How much research have you done on the orgs, beyond just the chapters at your school?

As for being "black and kinda chunky" - it's really just going to depend on the school and the girls in the chapter(s).

that makes me curious on her intent for joining any organization that is based on superficial looks....

She says she is Black and kinda chunky....

if you have no confidence in yourself or if you have self esteem issues, then why look at orgs that are simply based on that....what else do you have to give that would make you an asset besides your looks?

That seems like that is your primary worry...or maybe I am crazy

It's not my primary worry, but most of my other worries were answered with the search function. I just wanted to know if this could affect me. I don't think its all about looks, I just don't want to waste my time of groups who might make a big deal out of it.

it's only a big deal if YOU LET IT be a big deal

I mean if they get mad because your ass has more curves than theirs or you eat a meal as opposed to them eating and purging bird seeds...then....hmmmmmm
