Could some BGLO ladies please explain how the NPHC sorority rush process happens?

I have found that they are not as helpful when it comes to information on membership pertaining to those who are not ON the campus where the active chapter is. I was only asking for a little insight when it came to that...

I have not met any members yet because I am not a student on that campus. They also have not had an event in a while. I am however involved in something this week that could potentially put me in the presence of such members!!

Maybe you need to rethink your pursuit for membership after you complete college? Sounds like you are in college by a wing and a prayer and it is probably better for you and anyone else who loves and cares for you to not have these activities in your life at this time, and try to finish school, get a job and move on with your life.

If you still want to join, then it will be available after you have improved upon your communication skills, which only come by maturity and life experiences.

@bolded: Now you know that is a lie because I know for a fact my Sorority's International Website has specific language regarding that kind information. Which means to me (Thank God and Praise Jesus!) you are not interested in my Sorority!!! Unfortunately, my sistergreeks have to contend with you and I will let them speak to their websites...

Basically you are lazy. Reading is fundamental! So, I don't want anyone who chooses not to read my Sorority's website to desire membership after I paid to put accurate information in there! If you really do attend a HBCU, your professors would have told you anything in the book is fair game. Same thing with website. Same thing with the LIBRARY!!! Same thing with the campus or campi that the chapter of your interest GLO is present.

Hustle!!!

I tried to tell her that 7 posts up^^.

OMG!! Yall are so rude. Does it really take all that to answer this person's question?? I think, as Greeks, sometimes we forget how it was to be a GDI. She stated in her message that she is not even on the same campus as the greek organization that she is interested in and she just wants to know what would be a subtle way of letting them know she is interested. I think the simple reply of showing up to activities and various community service projects of the organization would have been a sufficient answer. I know we Greeks are supposed have the mentatlity of "we don't need you but you need us" but does it have to go to this extreme? I think we can all agree that BGLO's are already being viewed in a negative manner by outsiders because of hazing and lawsuites, do we really need to add fuel to the fire by being rude and condescending to potential applicants??

Lane swerving again I know, but I personally don't think my reply was rude.

It's true, if you want to learn about an org (and potentially be part of it), you have to MEET people in it. Sitting on a message board talking about meeting XYZ sorority members doesn't get you anywhere.

There is nothing rude about that.

How about some discretion, perhaps?

She is loaded with "excuses"...

It is a liability for me to speak about anything related to membership beyond the International Website, campus/local websites, Google, libraries and what is said to her face-to-face in her local area--assuming it is a "her" because one never knows on the internet these days...

We do not KNOW her, so it is unwise to tell her anything...

LOL at the accusation of rudeness, followed by "GDI." And why is it that some people will use their first post to accuse everyone of rudeness? It always makes me suspect a sock puppet.

Hey, I can probably get her to tell us what college she attends and her location... But, I am not interested in doing that. However, I suspect it is an online school like University of Phoenix where the school does not allow GLO's on its campus due to liability issues.

It is one thing to have been on a traditional college campus, join a GLO, then have to transfer to University of Phoenix...

It is another to have always attended University of Phoenix, and desire membership. Speak to the school, because they have resoundingly said no to the International Board of Directors, citing these organizations do not add to the mission of the University, etc...

It is the same deal with a Community College situation.

Why do WE have to deal with this?

Ok... My goodness.. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. However, the original questions are being strongly deviated from and I (and others i'm sure) am being bombarded with a bunch of nonsense regarding my personal life and personal character. In reference to my communication skills & maturity, reading through these last few threads, any educated & respectful individual would see that I have been more than patient and tolerant with the way people have been responding to me. And another thing, being rude further deters the interest in whichever organization the rudeness is stemming from which in my opinion is not a good look.

This is a general thread so if people don't have general advice or HELPFUL information, i'm sure there is another thread on this site to relieve whatever stress or anger issues against PNM's they have. It further disappoints me when it comes to the "wasting time" comment. I have been wasting time reading a bunch of crap that does not have anything to do with the original questions being asked.

Also, for those that continue to leave comments, do ALL OF US (PNM's, SBglo members, & guests) a favor and read the entire contents of the thread before you add your $ 0.02.
ESPECIALLY WHEN ITS RELATED TO MAKING ASSUMPTIONS OF ANY KIND.

FURTHER: HOW DO YOU EXPECT PEOPLE TO USE THIS WEBSITE TO ITS FULLEST POTENTIAL WHEN THERE ARE VULTURES WAITING FOR THE NEXT PNM TO COME ALONG JUST TO GIVE THEM UNDUE GRIEF AND OUTLANDISH RESPONSES TO PERTINENT QUESTIONS?

ALL WHO PARTICIPATE IN SUCH ACTIONS SHOULD BE ASHAMED. I AM SURE THAT IS NOT IN LINE WITH ANY OF THE MOTTOS/BELIEFS/OBJECTIVES OF ANY SBGLO AND IF IT IS, I'M SURE THAT'S NEWS TO ME & EVERYONE ELSE THAT THOUGHT SBGLOS WHERE EXCEPTIONAL ORGANIZATIONS STRIVING FOR GREATNESS IN THEIR PERSPECTIVE ENDEAVORS.

And don't think that I won't keep posting..PNM's are in no way WEAK MINDED OR LAZY OR LOOKING TO BE SPOON FED. We are simply using every tool that we have (which obviously includes websites like this) to further our EDUCATION & RESEARCH and therefore HUSTLING.

kEEP IT BREEZY

I love it when n00bs stick together.

If you think that their behavior on GC is putting these organizations in a bad light and somehow deters your interest, I doubt they really care. You're the one who wants to be a part of their organization. I say they can do whatever the hell they want -- which includes being rude or unhelpful to those who pay no attention to their rules of "we don't talk about membership on the internet" and "exercise discretion."

Gotta love KEYBOARD COURAGE. I'm sure the story would be different IRL.

That is about the funniest stuff I have read in a long time!!!

[kddani]

Laughing at all the mixture of terminology- NPHC, NPC.

I don't know that I've ever seen PNM used in association with NPHC groups?

This isn't even an entertaining sock puppet.
