Yes.

This is why not everyone wants to be in a sorority or will successfully pursue a sorority. They can find these and other things elsewhere on most campuses.

For instance, there are many women who want NPHC membership but don't want all the rights and responsibilities that go along with being a member and a "soror." To those people, we often say "there's a great academic support club around the corner" or "the university has a minorities in medicine program where you can meet and mingle with other med students and people in your career of choice." The NPHC is not necessarily for them.
