MIP Discrimination

I initially thought that the poster was a troll that was mocking sororities when I started my reply. Just before hitting "submit" it occurred to me that perhaps the NPHC sororities did have this practice, as I know their alumnae groups are a very active and integral part of their organizations. As it appears that this is the case, some members with knowledge of their membership selection practices have started to reply. I did not mean this to sound like a racist comment at all. I just know that there are not too many of our NPHC organization members that frequent GC and discuss their issues, therefore NPC members may have wondered about the authenticity of this post, as I did. I am glad that we have some NPHC members and would encourage them to post more often. Although their membership selection process differs from NPC's, we have more other issues and practices in common.

I believe that there are plenty of experienced NPHC members here on GC. They have educated us all that discretion is a critical part of their process. NPHC specific questions occasionally go unanswered because those members choose not to reply. This is simply not the right place for those questions, especially sensitive membership questions, so discussion is not encouraged.
