I'm sensing something going on under the surface here with her personally, but I could be wrong.

If those 4 people stay active for all of their lives, they're doing better than many chapters of NIC or NPC groups, as far as I'm concerned.

I don't see why a system that has worked pretty well for years needs to be changed to fit the current "you need to put it on a plate and serve it to me" mentality. The more you do that for people, the less they value the thing on the plate.

Co-sign.

I haven't watched the video because of the length, but if she is proposing that we do recruitment then I have to question why.

As always, @ "culturally based orgs" (no slight to the OP )

The white diaspora also has a race, ethnicity, and culture. Even if people claim that NPC and NIC do not have an intent and foundation in said race, ethnicty, and culture, it is no coincidence that NPC and NIC sororities and fraternities are predominantly white and generally service a predominantly white environment (unless they intentionally go into more diverse environments such as "my chapter tutors underprivileged kids in the inner city").

As for the topic at hand, I never believed in recruiting PERIOD. But, my opinion on that only matters for NPHC orgs and REALLY only matters for Delta. As long as Delta doesn't formally recruit, I can sleep at night. What individual members and chapters do to attract members isn't the same as a formal recruitment process. NPHC orgs, and especially the larger ones like Delta, are not suffering for aspirants and financial members. We don't need to go looking for people. It's enough that collegiate chapters do programs and post "rush/informational" fliers. It's enough that alumnae chapters do programs and advertise "rush/informational" in local newspapers. The End.
