For Beta Sigma Phi:
--We do have a few chapters at some colleges. Most however are not because we are more community based. Thus, Beta Sigma Phi should never be promoted as an NPC/NPHC alternative as the experience is very different.
--Selective membership & bidding varies from chapter to chapter as each chapter is responsible for who they recruit. Some chapters will take any woman who is interested. Some will be very selective based on needs & preferences. Most are a good balance of the two.
--Because we are primarily a community-based sorority we do not have a GPA requirement or a requirement that one have a college degree. I would be shocked if any of the college chapters have a GPA requirement unless the university they are at requires it per all student organizations.
--Beta Sigma Phi does not have any rules against accepting members of NPC/NPHC or other groups. We have many members who are NPC and I know of at least one locally who is in PEO Sisterhood. I am unfamiliar with NPHC policies so someone from one of those chapters would have to weigh in on whether or not they allow their members to join a group such as Beta Sigma Phi.
