Actually much harder! But, that is not to deny the PHC for IAing!

There have been many fine Ladies who have AIed with PHC.

As far as NHPC, there is a different out look on the AI and their Alumni Chapters. They seem to be more positive towards it!


Good for them!!!!

Thank you and so true. AI happens regularly in the NPHC and is no harder than collegiate selection/initiation. In fact in Delta the process is the same.

But to be completely honest, they are both hard--and I am not referring to hazing.

^^^ Ditto.

And I know second-semester senior initiates from every NPHC organization (except Iota because I don't really know any).

Exactly! One of the hardest working members of my alumnae chapter was initiated as a graduating senior in college.

Dashing and bashing dreams seems to become a habit for to many people anymore!

If a person asks a serious question at least give serious answer.

Just have the nerve to look into it and ask questoins. If it works, then it works!

If still interested speaking from a NIC stand point, there is a chance for AI and something else to look into!

It takes guts either way.

It's not dashing or bashing dreams. It's being realistic, and the realistic thing is, that for a lot of fraternities at a lot of schools, it would be tough, if not impossible, to get a bid as a senior. That may be different for NPHC, I'll leave opinions on that to the NPHC members who have already posted.

However, I don't see the answers here as non-serious. Is it any more serious to tell someone "Do it, you're guaranteed a bid," only to have them be disappointed?

No one is saying "don't even try." What they are saying is, if you are going to try, be aware that it might not work.

Correction: I'm saying don't even try.
