I've noticed that some members of NPHC groups on this board continually say that a big difference between NPHC and NPC/NIC groups is that their's is a life long commitment. This really bothers me when I hear this/see this because ours is a life long commitment too. NPC/NIC members take their commitment to their org, seriously. If we didn't we wouldn't still be around. Yes, we have members flake out on their commitment as I'm sure NPHC orgs have members flake out on their commitments. In a perfect world we'd be able to retain 100% of our membership. But the world isn't perfect.

Honestly, it wasn't until I joined this site that I heard NPC/NIC members consider their commitment as "life long." I can't tell you the number of times I have heard people in NPC/NIC orgs. say "I USED to be a XYZ" or "I WAS an ABC in college." Many of them are surprised when I talk about attending meetings and service projects with my Alumnae Sorors. They feel as if I should have let go of my sorority involvement at graduation.
I also have several African American friends who are members of Phi Mu, Alpha Phi and ADPi. While we were in college, they had a great time in their organizations. However, I have had a few mention to me that they wished they joined an NPHC organization because *in their opinion* they didn't see it as a life long commitment. But now I can encourage my friends to get active in their orgs. as alumnae members.
