This goes back to understanding the history behind the NPHC. I don't think an aspirant can appreciate Delta's history and worth without knowing a certain amount of information about the other NPHC orgs (and a little info on Greek Life, in general). Just like I believe an aspirant who is ignorant to certain aspects of American history can't place many of Delta's accomplishments within the proper contexts.

You'd be hard pressed to come across an aspirant who doesn't know some basic info on NPHC orgs because even before the internet, aspirants were expected to be inquisitive and wide-eyed.

Yes..this makes sense. It would be a waste of time for anyone to spend hours learning everything there is to know about an org they will never be a part of.

A musical intermission - courtesy of "Barnum!"

Bigger isn't better
Taller isn't braver
Stronger isn't always wise

Smaller isn't necessarily the lesser
Guts can come in any size

Lady luck can favor
Just a little shaver
Over one who's 6-foot-3

Brains in any tussle
Mop the floor with muscle
Bet your life I'm glad I'm me

(Chorus
Bigger isn't keener
Larger isn't bolder
Higher might be low inside
When you need to lean upon a friendly shoulder
Narrow's just as good as wide
See the mighty lion sittin there and crying bitten by a tiny flea
Mammoth was colossal what's he now? A fossil!
Bet your life I'm glad I'm me

What strong and hope they lag along
Get brains and heart
That handsome hunk might be a Lilliputian medley,
Proven consequently...
Though he shows his shoulders twice as big as boulders
If his brain's a tiny pea
When your in a pickle
He ain't worth a nickel
Bet your life I'm...Bet your life I'm glad I'm me
