Disappointed in Membership

Despite what many people think, membership in NPC and NIC groups are JUST AS MUCH OF A LIFETIME COMMITTMENT as NPHC groups! Alumnae participation may differ, but I'm really tired of this attitude that just because I'm in an NPC sorority, that it's not that important to me and I can switch when I want to at anytime. The NPC is actually pretty organized to prevent things like this AFTER INITIATION. True, there are some people who have succeeded at this little charade in NPC, NIC, and NPHC groups. But, Greek letter organization is a LIFETIME COMMITTMENT regardless of the national organizing body.

AlphaChiGirl,

Can you de-activate from your sorority? Once you de-activate, is it then as if you are not in a sorority? If so, once de-activating, can you join another sorority? I am asking these questions out of general curiousity, not trying to start anything.

Now, I'm going to pose some questions, not to rile anyone, but to provoke a little thinking. And this is not just for NPC sororities or IFC frats, this is addressed to NPHC members as well.

What is the percentage of your members that remain active after graduation from undergrad? Meaning, active and financial? How many of you continue going to regional and national conferences after graduation? For those of you who have graduated already, how many people from your line (or pledge class) are still active and financial in your org?
