Just a General Question

^^^ Can I just say that I LOVE when organizations have January to December terms? The summers are great times for leadership development and recharging. And it also provides an entire semester of transition time before seniors graduate.

Sure..for NPHC. But in NPC sororities, almost all of us get back to school (or even before school starts in August!) to face immediate recruitment. You do NOT want someone who is completely untried in the 'easy' semester (winter) handling that.

I thought that the fall classes were generally the "major" classes in NPC sororities? Wouldn't that Jan-May semester help to prepare an officer for recruitment in the Fall?

Our elections for new officer positions were held a few weeks before the end of Spring semester. We'd get the new VP Recruitment then.

When I was a collegian, our Rush Training School (Rush Boot Camp, as I fondly remember it) was held in the summer a few weeks before Fall Semester.

My organization has elections at the end of Spring semester as well. We also have similar workshops during the summer. I was just thinking that having that extra semester of lead time could be beneficial since I've read on here that more emphasis is placed on fall classes in NPC.

I wasn't speaking for or even about the NPHC. My APO chapter functions this way.
