If she meant AKA, as someone as said, the aspirant process will most likely not be a part of NPC recruitment. I cannot speak to how that AKA chapter is, and most NPHC collegiate chapter memberships are 19-22 year olds. However, NPHC orgs do have chapters (at commuter and non-commuter schools) with non-traditional applicants and members. Or they are open to the idea of much older members as long as the member doesn't try to act like an advisor or parent. Depending on the chapter, there may be no difference between a 26+ yo collegiate NPHCer and a 20 yo collegiate NPHCer. Some collegiate chapters operate very much like alumnae chapters and if there's something that the older members feel is "too young" for them (i.e. attending certain social events), they can either not attend the event or find the other older NPHCers at the event (many NPHC social events have some older NPHCers there).

Yes it is AKA. I decided I am going to stick with the 2 NPC groups and see how it goes! I am just going to go in with an open mind and enjoy the process! It will definitely be worth the experience regardless of the outcome!!

Maybe I will post a recruitment story just like the other girls have been doing...

Is a recruitment story with 2 NPCs as exciting?

I recommend being careful in that you have already given some identifiers if people want to know what school you attend. If you do a recruitment story, perhaps you can do one after recruitment is over.

And if you find that NPC is not what you're looking for, please don't pursue membership in an NPHC sorority unless you have done thorough research and plan to be active for a lifetime, that is in an alumnae chapter well beyond your college years and please don't pursue AKA because it's the only sorority left on your campus. If you choose to pursue membership, do so because you would join at any college or after college. Good Luck.
