If that's the case then I agree with you.

Yes - some Latina and multicultural sororities have joined the Campus Panhellenic and still conduct a different recruitment, but if you join the National Panhellenic Conference, all of your collegiate chapters that are on a campus with another NPC sorority would have to do recruitment the same way we do.

I know I'm late on this but I think this is a great opportunity to continue to build bridges of communication and network. Why not...sounds good.

That's probably why there aren't any latina/asian/multicultural sororities in NPC too.

Right LOL
Have the PIKES colonized at Howard yet? I work on a campus where the PIKES have recruited more black men than one of the NPHC fraternities on campus....I can't wait to see what happens.

Yep - also, I'm not sure some of them meet the other membership requirements simply because a lot are fairly new organizations.

What's a door chant? Sorry, I know this is probably a stupid question ...

Ya'll could sing:
D-D-D with an S
S-S-S with a T
D with an S
S with a T
D-S-T! Yeah!
Sorry...couldn't help it. It seems like every three letter NPC has a chant that goes like that.

In addition, there are NPC requirements that just don't mesh with NPHC culture. I know that NPC requires disclosure of financial requirements during the recruitment period, while NPHC groups have a little more discretion.

Totally off topic...
Why do the guys in the pics have different hand signs - some with one finger and some with 3? I thought there was only one for the whole org. If it's super secret stuff I can't know, that's fine.

^^^XO_Kathy, for the love of all that's good and decent, and to totally avoid another culture-based GC riot, please delete your post.
(this is despite recently such threads have been positive and productive, I don't want to see the winning streak broken).

You all know that we have songs and chants so a door chant wouldn't be such a huge stretch.
We actually have a couple of chants and "circle songs" similar to the one you posted.

Speaking as a nonIota, of course:
That's an honest question. Both are commonly used handsigns for that organization. Why exactly BOTH are their signs is something I do not know.
