Can I get an honest answer?

ew, family is hard to deal with. i don't know about your relationships, but i had to tell my family to just freakin deal with it when i didn't rush NPC. it was a huge fight, but eventually they got over it because they couldn't stop me. of course, that doesn't prevent the snide little comments here and there, but it's something we just don't talk about.

Pink,
I'm just wondering----are you familiar with the NPC sororities on your campus and their activities that they do? Sounds like you might want to do some research on them or maybe attend some of their public activities during the year. Yes, I know that this is NPC but you might need some more information. I know when I was first looking in sorority membership I did a lot of research on the different organizations. What it comes down to is that you make the best decision for you. I'm African-American and for me I chose a NPHC sorority. It came down to being the best fit for me.

I am also black and joined a NPC org. When I first entered college, I also thought that I would get judged by the color of my skin. Then I realized that was silly. Yes there are some groups out there that cater to a certain stereotype, but you cannot let that stop you from doing what you want. There are many NPC orgs that would be lucky to have you. I know women of all shapes and colors that are in NPC orgs. You just have to be the best you that you can be. I know that sounds cliche, but you cannot expect for NPC or any org for that matter to seriously consider giving you a bid when you are not confident with yourself.
If there are NPC orgs that do not want you, then you are better off without them.

But they did and apparently were welcomed with open arms. And it was more of now that they are back on the yard.

LOL, yes. Alert the media.

It's funny because there are people who have been posting here forever who had no idea.

Greekchat is a message board chat site where folks discuss whatever and wherever.

It should only the pre-test level of researching organizations you are interesting in joining. NEVER for the sole basis of you joining one...

Will you be salvage for humiliation from being extended a bid to join, who knows? Take care of yourself as always.
