It is my hope that all the NPHC orgs will one day get back to being more selective. People can label us elitist all they want but we know what we want and need in our organizations.

How did you translate what has been said into the other HPHCs aren't selective?

And we really do value quality over quantity, too. Raw numbers may not show that because of the number of applicants we get, but percentages of applicants who make it v. those that don't, would.

For example a line of 50 from a pool of 300 that meet the minimum requirements is 16.7 percent. A line of 17 from an eligible pool of 100, is 17 percent. And if you then add in the applicants that did not meet the minimum requirement (the first phase of selection) the percents are even lower.

And I wouldn't be surprised at how many don't make it into Sigma Land. I WOULD be surprised if everyone who tried, did.

You took this in a direction the rest of us were not interested in going.

You took this the wrong way totally. I don't think any of the NPHC orgs (including mine) are as selective as we once used to be and there are a lot of factors around the reasons why. I think the intake process vs. "pledging" is one big factor for example.

now THIS would be taking this in a direction the rest of us aren't interested in going.

chalk it up to miscommunication (rhoyaltempest ) and different strokes for different folks (ladygreek)?
