NPC uses a formal recruitment process that is followed by all NPC groups on a campus. We are basically set up to very publicly take in new members and are expected to keep said new members. NPHC is a lot more circumspect in their intake practices...ie. they don't talk about it, so how do I really know that they take 20 and only initiate 2? I have to take their word for it because their system is set up to be secretive not public...and that's the way they want it! Trust me, there were no thinly veiled insults in my original post!

guess i misheard you. i'm pretty sure every org in NPHC, have set regimented and universal (albeit private) guidelines for new member intake from the moment of expressing interest to the moment you become a member, whether or not a NM completes the process is a whole 'nother ballgame.

I think you are confused by tht post as I am.

We do not have new members that are not initiated.

So do your research learn the history and the colors and wear something nuetral to that specific org your seeking membership into.

Then again Maybe it is just a HBGLO thing.

i'll give an example. let's say an orgs colors are.....(btw, i'm not targeting any org, if these are your colors, they are purely coincidential):

pink and silver.

if an interest comes PURPOSELY wearing those colors, or any other symbols of the org (say pearls or diamonds), that signals to the members that this interest is taking a rather presumptive attitude. You have not earned the ability to wear those colors or symbols. I'm not saying if you show up in say jeans and a white shirt w/pink and silver on it, but if you are wearing a pink shirt with silver pants with silver shoes, pink and silver bracelet, and (if one of the org's symbol is pearls), wear pearls around your neck, you 1. obviously need to take more time to learn about the greek culture, and 2. again being rather rude and presumptive.
