Why do LGLO/MCGLOs follow NPHC practices?

For a new organization being formed, getting numbers like that is going to be impossible, so emulating the recruitment styles would not be effective. The NPHC organizations accomplished a great deal of work with far less numbers, and this was more in line with our organizations. As far as why line jackets/strolling/stepping, etc is used -- I'm not too sure about that. Several of the old heads that I've spoken to have stated that there was a lot of support from the Alphas, so it may have been seen as OK to partake in those practices.

Also, one of ODPhi's founders is black, so it's possible that he grew up around members of the NPHC and saw their styles as "normal Greek life," regardless of the letters.



I'm not familiar with any NALFO organizations using an NIC/NPC-style recruitment, so I'm also interested in seeing who does what.

oh they weren't NALFO orgs
