Dual Memberships - Page 10

This really depends on how many "social" things the Christian sorority does.

How is the rule of not being able to join more than one NPC enforced? How would a sorority know if you have been in a different NPC sorority before? Is there some sort of database of the names of every member to be initiated into an NPC? I haven't seen any information on this specifically. I understand that the rule is firm, but I'm sure people have tried to join more than one NPC or sever from one and try to join another. Any information on this?

Are you referring to facebook photos and such? What do you mean by this?

Facebook photos. Facebook posts. Mutual friends. Chapter sites (they usually welcome their new members). School newspaper websites. Pretty much...everything. Unless you pledged a hermit sorority on a desert island.

Honestly, if you want to try it and the complete lack of integrity and honesty doesn't bother you, go for it, but don't be surprised if both groups find out and you have membership in nothing.

Just to reiterate-

A girl from my initiating AGD chapter deactivated and transferred schools. She began attending COB parties for another national (and very well known) sorority. The AGD chapter found out and called the officers of the other sorority. They no longer considered her for membership and I'm sure word was spread at the next Panhellenic meeting.

okay, so I've tried to read as much of this thread as I could, but I didn't quite find what I'm looking for. forgive me if the answer should be obvious, but it's been stated multiple times that dual membership in two NPCs is not allowed, but what about an NPC and a local? I recently transferred schools and there's no chapter of my NPC here. Is there anyway I could join the local sorority? I've been told I could because it's local, but I've also been told that in order to do so I would need to drop my NPC. I am not willing to do that. I just miss greek life.

I *think* you can, but I would double check with AGD. If I remember correctly, in the DePauw DZ mess the girls that were given alumnae status started a local. Now whether or not they gave a damn what DZ thought after that whole debacle, who knows? (Not bashing DZ at all!)

Since you are already in an NPC sorority, this question should first be addressed to appropriate people in your sorority (i.e., IHQ).

I think MysticCat's advice is sound—and logically I would think the final verdict would be dependent on whether or not your current campus has any NPCs and if there are, whether or not the local you are considering is a member of the campus Panhellenic. (Someone let me know if I'm on the wrong track with that logic?)

I got my answer. So for anyone that goes through this in the future, dual membership in an NPC and a local IS allowed.

...in your situation. It seems like an awfully broad generalization to say it's true for all NPCs or all locals.

I'm glad it seems to be working out for you.

AGD1111 · #13 09-16-2011, 01:27 AM

that's true. I should've thought of that before I posted here. I would assume it's true for most, but I'm definitely not an authority on that. I would hope people just don't run into this issue. it's kind of stressful :\

Does anyone know what the policy for someone who was initiated into an NPC GLO, transferred schools a week after initiating and would now like to become a member in an IFC GLO (it's coed) at their new university? The sorority she was initiated into is not present at the new school. Someone had said at one point that she might need to be desistered from the the sorority, but would that necessarily be true if it's NPC and IFC?

You need to ask the IFC GLO.
