NPHC/NPC/IFC/NIC/MCGC and Greek Week

[pshsx1]

Regardless of your council and organization:
Is Greek Week mandatory at your school? For example, if your chapter chooses not to participate, are there penalties?
Nope. If you don't participate, you just won't win. It's totally optional, though.

2. If you are in NPHC, are you required to participate in your university's Greek Week?
Again, no one is required to participate. But, the NPHC org(s) (the number fluctuates) aren't consistent with their participation.

3. If you go to a PWI, do you have different Greek Life Advisors for the councils or it's just one person over ALL Greek Life? It just seems like there is a lack of understanding between our Greek Life Coordinator and the NPHC at my school.
It's one person over all of Greek Life, but the NPHC org(s) is/are advised by the coordinator of Multicultural Programs. Also, there are/were the umbrella Greek Council with 3 councils underneath, one of them being NPHC.

It is worth mentioning, though, that when I started at school, all Greeks were in the IFC. At the end of my sophomore year, the NPHC orgs on campus resigned from the IFC, stating that everything the IFC and the orgs within it did were of absolutely no benefit to the NPHC orgs.

Also worth mentioning, when recruitment week comes around, NPHC is required to participate in the traditional events that the non-NPHC orgs are hosting.

You mean formal recruitment? So... NPC/IFC don't have to participate in...well I wouldn't know what there WOULD be for those orgs to participate in on the NPHC side, nor would... Ehh. It's not reciprocal.

Informal, I guess. It definitely isn't like formal NPC recruitment. But there is an event/party rotation that occurs on the weekends (recruitment is 2 weeks long) and all orgs are required to participate.

But at the end of the day, no, it isn't remotely reciprocal. It's all for the benefit of the non-NPHC organizations.
