NO.

Please see the very first post in this thread and pay close attention to the portion that says that dual memberships in NPC and NPHC are not allowed.

Holding dual memberships in NPC and NPHC sororities is not allowed. Even if you terminate your membership in the NPC, you were already initiated, making you ineligible. You can try, but no one's really going to feel sorry for you when you get outed. People do find out, you know.

NPHC members, you got another one. Feel free to chime in and set her straight.

From my mind to your finger tips. And if it had of been anyone else besides OTW, I might have gotten a little salty.

I'm sorry you felt as if I was giving you permission. That wasn't the intent. Maybe I should have worded it better, but it was more of an encouragement to add your input because it was obvious mine wasn't good enough for her.

I will say, determining what to join or not is a big deal.

My BFF was really under a lot of stress of whether to join and NPHC sorority or NPC. She eventually decided to go through formal recruitment our freshman year and decided that she really felt at home in DZ. If she didn't feel she liked it, she was going to drop herself out. She still does stuff with her friends in those orgs. and goes to the parties too. Her mom is in the NPHC and just being Greek has brought them even closer.

I, myself, have been formally invited to SAI parties. Though I know a large part of the chapter (like 75%+), I just do not have the time to devote to both. Forever I will go to the PMA and SAI recitals; I know a lot of the guys too. Just because you may/may not be a part of one organization, it doesn't mean that you can't support another.

Seriously, I go to all the step shows I can on campus. That tradition is so awesome to me ( plus I get my sorority sisters and friends to go too).
Personally, I would look at what you are looking for in an organization and then decide for yourself. Give everything a thorough evaluation first!

Okay there is no other way to answer this question other than the way it was answered. No Wait!!!! maybe this will help En es spanol...NO..in French......NO. sorry. Could't resist.

What I want to know is why you would join an org if you werent really feeling it. It sounds to me like you only joined because your first choice wasn't available....which means you want to wear the T-shirt.

SASS like that can only be made in MICHIGAN! I remember when the AKAs were suspended at my school for ten years...then some of the "interests" just "grew impatient" and "changed their minds."

But telling them what they can't wear? *sarcasm* now that would be hazing right soror?
