Social Clubs at Mississippi University for Women

preciousjeni · #1 06-10-2005, 08:55 PM

I don't want to start anything so I'm going to ask a yes or no type question. To avoid the mess, just don't give specifics.

Is any club more desirable than any other (i.e. are they "tiered")?

The reason I ask is because I'm wondering if these social clubs are really interested in members who fit into their groups or if they are vying for all new members.

It all depends on personal interest, in most 4 year clubs its about fun and wanting to be a part of the schools history, in the case of 2 year its about drive and how bad you really want it.... or at least in personal experience/opinion

In the case of BlackList, if you dont fit, you dont get called. If your not set on it with heart and mind, you dont get called and you wouldnt live to tell the tale if you did. not that we actually kill people

I'm confused. someone help me here ( I realize this is an old thread).

How is it that the campus has NPHC orgs yet no NPC or NIC?

I just want to understand the logic.

To be honest I'm not sure why they have never had NPC or NIC groups. The "W" as it is affectionately called in the State of MS, is the oldest public university for women in the country. (It might have even been the first too.) The campus is rather small so I'm not sure if it could support NPC and NIC groups. My father-in-law lives in Columbus, MS where it is located. From driving by it many times, I get the feeling it's more a commuter campus. However, it is rich in tradition and history. (Eudora Welty is one of their well-known alumna--there had even been talk about changing the name to Welty University I believe.)

Anyway, I think their social tribes/clubs have just always been the norm there. I always wondered why Delta Gamma (since they were founded up the road in Oxford in 1873) never had a chapter the "W."

Good question...have to ask around to see if anyone knows!

Are the NPHC chapters for MUW only or are they citywide? I had just assumed that they were the latter.

THe NPHC chapters are only MUW, as far as I know. I have known several AKAs and Deltas over the past few years.. and I haven't known anyone from the city only to be involved in them.

"Citywide" doesn't necessarily mean only in the city the college is in...it means several schools that are close to each other, and that might not have enough interest for a chapter on their own, join together to form a chapter.

I hope that's a decent explanation...

Oh. Well then, still no. The NPHC chapters are MUW only, though many other chapters show up for probates.

I'm a Troubadour (4-year with the triangles) and a Jester (2-year) and am currently on campus and may be able to answer any other questions you guys have.
