You're lucky. At some schools, the advisors are the very ones who are clinging to this mindset when the chapter itself is completely color blind.

To the OP: I could tell you to be a martyr, self-terminate and make sure everyone knows exactly why. That's asking a lot of you though.

Are these girls freshmen or are they older - that is, have they already had time to think about NPHC groups. I'm just saying this in the context of are they jumping on NPC because it's all they can jump on now, or because they truly want what your sorority has vs what an NPHC group has.

It's a long story, but we know both personally. They know what the want.

I know this doesn't fix the problem but I really wish that minority women especially would consider ALL their options including NPHC (not that we can be sure these ladies haven't) because if I see one more "I'm in an NPC but now want to pledge NPHC" on sites like yahoo answers...

Do the research people. So you can make an informed decision.

That's exactly why I posted what I did. Then again, if everyone had deferred rush it would help remedy this a lot, but that's another story.

And by research I'm not just talking about textbook research. I mean talk to members, observe activities, attend events, etc. But you're right, NPC rush would have to be deferred for this I guess.
