Define, or give examples of, a non-greek organization. It really depends.

Yes you can as long as it is not part of NIC, NPC, or NHPC.

Any professional or service greek named organizations are available to you.

If once you are initiated into any of the 3 councils while it is not impossible, it is almost so.

Remember the time involved and if you can afford it.

Speak for your own council. In the NPC it IS impossible.

STFU, Earpus.

I guess you will never change and even try to be a decent person.

Once a B, I guess always a B!

B M and will you give a lip hug to your favorite enemy to make up!

Why don't you try to help instead of being such a negative person.

God, you must hate your self and evryone else.

Not only will you never change, you will also try to be a decent person.

I've decided to be like all those LJ moms and call you B! Actually I mean "Bitch" but it doesn't count because I didn't say it!

Either you need to poop or bite me, also go make out with a certain psycho friend of mine.... I mean, I just want to watch.

How dare you not ignore my incorrect information. Of course a member of an NIC fraternity can join an NPC sorority if he wants! Why? Because I say so!

I used to think the same thing. But I soon came to find out that although it's a common belief amongst the greek world, it is possible to join say an NPHC after being initiated into an NPC or vice versa. I've only heard of one case where a member went from NPHC first to NPC second. It's a lot more common from NPC to NPHC. Obviously I can't speak for all NPHC but I know of 2 NPHC organizations that don't like this, but since they don't have anything specific in their bylaws, it's possible for an interest to do. (I also know this to be the case of at least 1 NPC sorority.) After hearing so much stuff about this topic I decided to simply ask a couple of NPHC members that I know personally and it was the MEMBERS themselves who told me this about their org. Oh, it's frowned upon by all NPHC greeks and they hate it with a passion! But is it possible? Yes, it's possible. But not in those NPHC orgs that have specifically addressed this issue in their bylaws. And plus, I personally know 2 people who have pancaked between NPC and NPHC. I had an extended discussion with them as to their reasons why. I admit I was curious. Believe me, they were not shy at all - on the contrary, they were very open about their experiences. Neither one of them lied to join the seccond organization. Up until this year, I never thought it was possible either.

I'm not advertising for it. I'm not saying I agree with it because I don't. I'm just stating the facts.
