I remember hearing of a nearby college that had required NPHC sororities to participate in NPC rush/recruitment week to be recognized. I think it was the school's attempt to help the chapters increase their numbers. I don't know if they were required to hold pref or give bids, and I don't know what came of it, but another example of PWIs misunderstanding of NPHC needs and methods.

And don't get me wrong, I respect and like (most) of how NPC does recruitment, but countless retro stories paint horrid stories of less successful/stigmatized recruitment for smaller chapters (and smaller being like under 25-30). So how the freek is an NPHC chapter of 5-10 expected to throw a weeklong party w/o a house and little knowledge abt how the system even works?

That's insane. But after hearing the story about the Greek life advisor who was given a $$$ bonus if she placed every girl who went through rush (whether the chapters wanted them or not) I can believe anything.
