TexasCutie clearly stated the dynamics going on where she's from. It's similar to many black communities where graduating from high school is a huge feat--going to college is a God send--going Greek is not thought of or is laughed at as unrealistic. TexasCutie made the mistake of identifying her issue as a Hispanic one but it really is a subcultural issue.
She is really late on the bus with this one, however I don't think non-NPC organizations should be recommended to anyone because many of these organizations are not "last ditch efforts" for those who "want to belong to something." If she really wants to rush NPC, she will struggle to find out how to get the recs and see what she can do to make it happen in her 4th year. If it can't happen, maybe she's not meant to be in an organization at all.

TexasCutie and I grew up in similar sounding cities so the dynamics of the city has NOTHING to do with rushing. I can understand if that was her logic as a freshman, because I went through it as a freshman (not knowing anything...yada yada yada). The fact is that TexasCutie is a 4th year senior, which gave her years to figure out about Greek Life. Even if she didn't know anyone personally who could give her recs, she could have gone to the Greek Life advisor for assistance. Man, I even contacted the Greek Life advisor from the university in the closest city to mine (which happened to be in New Mexico) and got information from them.
I do agree with your last part though.
