My bad!

Wait, let me ask. Please forgive my ignorance, but I honestly don't know. Say I went to a school and wanted to join a NPHC org. It would be bad advice to just see what the groups on campus were like and what they were about? I should have one group in my head in particular and only go that route?

I'm just wondering- again, please forgive my not knowing about this process.

Any NPHCer correct me if I'm wrong, but you are supposed to want to join the organization because of thier mission and the works that they do. NPHC puts a lot more focus on the international aspect then NIC or NPC usually does.

Short answer: Yes. Basically, the aspirant would have done his/her "homework" before they even get to campus. Once there he/she would quietly pursue their org of choice to become a member.

There are a few more subtle nuances involved, but this is the "short" answer.

No problem on not knowing. I knew a little about NPC rush, but learned more when I joined GC.

Some people come to college knowing exactly which NPHC org they want to join.

Others only know they want to join an NPHC org in general.

For the latter group, they should most definitely investigate the various orgs, from the national websites down to the temperaments of the women (or men) on campus.

I was one of those people who did not necessarily know which fraternity I wanted to pledge.
