Should I pledge an NPHC sorority even though I am graduating this semester?

Also I have never been to New York, I am really excited to live in the East Coast before going to Africa.

So given those plans, how come you want to join an NPHC Sorority, now?

it has been something that I have been wanting to do since freshman year. I honestly never took the time to do it because I was too busy studying all the time to try to keep my grades up so I can keep my scholarships. Now that I am all set for the fall, I want to finally do one of the things that I have been wanting to do for a long time.

I just keep 2nd guessing myself because it is my last semester as an undergrad, plus my family who never been in any org., or college don't really understand and keep telling me that its not worth it. I just came on here to see what people who are already in NPHC thinking about someone who might be doing the MIP process there final semester.
