For starters, many non-NPC sororities/councils/conferences are not invested in nonmember, aspirant, or parent opinions to the point where they would create such a website or refer someone to such a website.

I say this because things like having a photo of a Black mother and her Black daughter beside the caption "A Shared Bond: Our family has had three generations of women in sororities and we wouldn't trade the experience for anything" can be quite misleading if people are expecting to see a non-NPC perspective (rather than an NPC perspective that is sometimes being misrepresented as a "general approach to sorority life") on that site. Instead, that third generation of Black women who may have joined an NPC sorority are the focus (based on the NPC perspective presented) rather than the previous two generations who most likely joined NPHC sororities.

It actually says "three generations in the same sorority", which means that either they all popped out kids at 14 and then went off to college anyway, or it is a stock photo FAIL.

Is that a website? If not, it should be.

Not really. The grandmothers could be born in my generation. We were born in the mid-50s. I and most of my friends and pledge sisters now have college-aged grandchildren. We graduated school, married and started families in our early 20s as did our children. We didn't postpone this the way it seems the majority of college educated women do now, but we were hardly teen moms.

There were African American NPC members in the early 70s. They were obviously very rare, but it did happen so theoretically there could be three-generation members. That's not to say I don't agree that it's a dumb visual used in a misguided attempt to convey diversity.
