Someone who needed to be told "have you considered Delta" needs to keep that need to themselves if they become a Delta aspirant. When I ask you "why Delta," you better not say that someone told you to give it a try because you were complaining about Greek Life or got rejected from another GLO. That goes for the collegiate and alumnae levels.
So, again, I disagree with DubaiSis (and SenusretI) if that need to be told is what she is talking about. We are not alternatives to NPC organizations and we are not second options in the sense that people who can't find their way should be told "have you tried Delta Sigma Theta?"
Researching and finding your way is how it was always done in the NPHC. Back in my parents' day of the 1950s-1960s (as well as before that and until the 1990s) a lot of people would be pledging one NPHC and end up another NPHC because the pledge process was so long. Even if that is considered "shopping around" (beyond doing research, meeting people, and attending programs), it is more understandable considering it was very difficult to get information on GLOs beyond what you saw on college campuses and at campus programs. They didn't have the Internet and other learning tools. As for times changing, yes that's what I referenced in another thread about NPHCers depledging or getting expelled and founding another GLO.
