)

I know her, and I doubt she was..

Even if her NPHC org doesn't care, you could still inform SDT nationals of her dishonesty, I'd be pissed if I were you.

I don't know about SDT, but there's not really rules about it on the NPC side...

Paging an NPHC sorority member.

Question, did this women officially end her membership at any point with SDT?

As far as I am aware, when my chapter was closed, she went alum, as the option was given, and taken by all the sisters who was active at that time. I am going to try to double check that one, but that is as far as I know.

Do you think she really cares? The girl has pictures of her in NPHC letters, stepping, etc. for all of the world including her SDT sisters to see. If she really cared, she would've been more, ahem, discreet about it.

That's a good point, but if it were possible, I would hope that nationals would do SOMETHING about it (if she were still officially a member) just for the interest of my org and the idea of a lifetime member and all that.

I understand she probably wouldn't care either way though.

Not completely sure, but I do believe it has been mentioned on GC that at least 1 NPHC sorority does not allow dual membership.

If SDT doesn't have a rule against it (only within the NPC does the NPC have such a rule) then I don't know why it's a bad thing from SDT's standpoint. If it was Gamma Sigma Sigma instead would that be different?

If she joined a service org, I wouldn't have a problem with it. But another social org I do. I also doubt she was honest about her affiliation with SDT.

I guess I just don't see an issue with it. It's like my mom joining P.E.O.
Would you feel the same if it was Beta Sigma Phi? (Pi?)

Although if she lied about SDT, not cool.

for AKA, a woman cannot try for membership if she is/was a member of an NPC/NPHC sorority or a another sorority similar in scope. a former member of an NPC sorority tried to join ours. she was honest that she was a former member and we honestly turned her down

as for doing background checks, no, we don't. however, if someone tries to get around this and is caught, it's not pretty.
i do believe other NPHC sororities are the same as us.
i swear that Facebook will trip up a bunch of folks

...i wonder what org. this woman is in...

Sigma Gamma Rho has the same policy. And I'm curious as to what organization this young lady joined as well.
