That's one good thing about black NPC girls who are NPHC-aware. There's this family/internalized pressure that's like "I don't care if you joined a white sorority, you BETTER be in it for life."

If that didn't come out right, shut up. You know what I mean.

I know what you mean, and it's true. I think I heard so many relatives/family friends dismiss NPC membership as "just a college thing" that I was like, ha! I'll be more active than any'all!

This is quite true, actually.
