My sister is a very respectable young woman and after her arrest she was able to get jobs at the Peace Corps, Sierra Club, and now a law firm just off wall street. To the OP- it can't hurt to try recruitment, like someone else said- just be honest

She said she was interested in NPHC. They don't recruit like we do. Maybe your should re-read and realize this isn't your specialty.

Sorority rush is a few months away (I'm going to rush NPHC sororities)
I hear the rush process is only a few days to a week,

Yeah, these things won't narrow down which school you're at in Indiana at all. Being rude to NPHC members here is pretty danged stupid. Even I know that and I'm in the NPC.

I'd be much more concerned about other legal ramifications than prospective sorority membership.

Now back to your previously scheduled lane change.

Alright first off, I wasn't being rude to anyone else before the comments began. Secondly, I'm reading about NPC and NPHC and now I learning they're two different councils b/c what do you mean , AOII LB93, when you say they don't recruit like we do?

and thank you tri deezy for the uplift

50ccerfan isn't really an NPHC aspirant.

Like I said.

Plus, 50ccerfan isn't too bright. This is why basic information should be sought before coming to GC for advice.

So the two posters who typed about rush and recruitment were on target after all.

Considering I graduated with well over a 3.3 with AP credit in high school, I wouldnt say I'm the dumbest But it isn't polite to brag.

And I'd only think sensuret was a woman b/c he's posting in a SORORITY forum. Sorry

I was going to correct my mistake on calling NPHC NPC when you jumped on me for it. Yea I should;ve had my facts straight, but sorry I don't spend every moment obsessing and researching Greek life, especially since it isn't really an academic type of pursuit

Sure you don't have to obsess over it, but if you are interested in a particular type of sorority, you should at least know what council it is in.

And FYI: academics are indeed an important factor in joining a sorority.

I'll just be honest depending on your school a 3.3 gpa and a criminal record isn't anything to be proud of.

HAHAHA...did you just try to brag about a high school GPA?

Oh, that's right, you're young. That's cute.

Anyway, you are interested in NPC and have gotten good advice in this thread in spite of yourself. Good luck.

And from the looks of your posts, you could use all of those you can get.

As Sensuret would say: Try pledging the library.

There is a difference between academic smarts and common sense smarts and unfortunately, not everyone possesses both.

Ok, so I was totally confused b/c when sunsuret said 3 out of 4 sororities do background checks, I thought she meant to say the school she rushed her school had 4 sororities but I just googled it and she was talking about the four African-American sororities. I'm rushing NPHC, and we have about 15 of those sororities at my school.

I just confused why one has panhellenic( as one word) and the other is Pan hellenic( two words) yet they're totally different. This thread has just gone to shambles now... :/
