Two NPHCs - not allowed
Non-NPC and NPHC - may be allowed, check with the organization. |
A service sorority or fraternity and an NPHC - allowed.
Two service sororities and/or fraternities - may be allowed, check with the organizations in question. |

For example, I know NPHC orgs don't prohibit GSS or APO membership, but (at least my interpretation of my org's rules) is that you can't join if you were in ANY fraternity that was social/general. No pledging a latino frat then changing your mind..... no founding a local and then switching teams. |
How about professional, cultural (other than NPHC), or religious based fraternities and sororities?
|
One of my sorors is in a Christian Sorority.
ETA Varies....Check with orgs in question |

Thanks so much for making this a sticky, SAEalumnus!
Now, for the record and for posterity: Membership in two different NPCs - NOT ALLOWED! (even if it's at another campus) If you were a New Member of one NPC and you were not initiated, you may pledge another NPC. However, you MUST wait one calendar year to accept a bid from the other NPC. No "ifs", "ands", or "buts". End of story. Thank you and have a nice day.:) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Apparently, that wasn't the end of the story. I've been informed by ISUKappa that waiting one calendar year to accept a bid from another NPC is only necessary if you stay on the same campus. |
I'm glad this sticky got posted, because I've been wanting to ask, purely out of curiosity, about (social) locals + NPHC but didn't want to post another annoying thread like the 5 million that get posted a day. I guess Senruset answered sufficiently, unless it is different for NPHC sororities?

Other social, service, professional, cultural, etc. --fine. |

APO places no restriction on members joining other organizations or being a member of other orgs (we have long been proud of our members being members of other groups). I am not aware of either GSS or OPA placing restrictions on their members joining (or being a member) of other organizations. While I wouldn't see a problem with something being in APO & GSS or APO & OPA, some might have an issue with being in GSS & OPA, but am unaware of any such rule. Those who are part of GSS & OPA should be able to add to this. |

I think its rare that you have multiple professional GLO of the same type at the same school, so would only be an issue with transfers or going to grad school at a different university. |

dual membership in music orgs (TBS, KKY, PMA, SAI)
its o.k. (but know your campus climate) i have also known people do to both musics orgs (example KKY and PMA) then an NPHC fraternity. again, know your campus climate. :p |
This probably should goes without saying, but just for the record:
Social, professional, honorary, service--DEFINATELY ALLOWED! Sidenote: I knew a former Student Government president who was a member of Kappa Alpha Psi, Kappa Kappa Psi, Kappa Delta Pi, and Alpha Kappa Mu. I think he took that "kappa" thing to a whole 'nother level. *lol* Also, membership in Alpha Phi Omega and Gamma Sigma Sigma--allowed. |
Quote:
The rule is: Dual membership is not allowed among Phi Mu Alpha, Sigma Alpha Iota, Mu Phi Epsilon (which is co-ed) or Delta Omicron (also co-ed). Phi Beta (co-ed, as well) might also be included in this group, too; I'm not sure. At the least, even if Phi Beta allowed dual membership, I think Phi Mu Alpha might prohibit it, but it's not a question I've run into. Dual membership in Phi Mu Alpha and Kappa Kappa Psi is allowed as far as national policies are concerned, since the former is a social fraternity and the latter is "an honorary service organization" (quoting KKY/TBS's national website). As you say, campus climate may be different, and I know there are different feelings about this among members of Phi Mu Alpha. (We used to have a joint agreement with Kappa Kappa Psi on the subject, but it is my understanding that Phi Mu Alpha has withdrawn from that agreement.) I don't know how Sigma Alpha Iota, Mu Phi Epsilon, Delta Omicron or Phi Beta feel about dual membership with Kappa Kappa Psi/Tau Beta Sigma. |
thanks for clarifying what what i meant...
KKY + PMA or TBS + SAI membership is what people generally see... but then you have male TBS who are PMA and/or female KKY who are SAI... it gets confusing after awhile, but y'all get the idea. :) |

well, i have a question. I made a mistake and joined a sorority that from the beginning i knew wasn't for me. it is a NPC sorority so i didn't have an option of joining the one i really wanted AKA (which is a NPHC). If i drop the one i'm in, do i still have a chance of being a proud member of AKA?
|
Quote:
Please see the very first post in this thread and pay close attention to the portion that says that dual memberships in NPC and NPHC are not allowed. |
so even if i drop it i'll always be a member? even if i'm changing schools? :eek:

Hmm
I will say, determining what to join or not is a big deal.
My BFF was really under a lot of stress of whether to join and NPHC sorority or NPC. She eventually decided to go through formal recruitment our freshman year and decided that she really felt at home in DZ. If she didn't feel she liked it, she was going to drop herself out. She still does stuff with her friends in those orgs. and goes to the parties too. Her mom is in the NPHC and just being Greek has brought them even closer. I, myself, have been formally invited to SAI parties. Though I know a large part of the chapter (like 75%+), I just do not have the time to devote to both. Forever I will go to the PMA and SAI recitals; I know a lot of the guys too. Just because you may/may not be a part of one organization, it doesn't mean that you can't support another. Seriously, I go to all the step shows I can on campus. That tradition is so awesome to me ( plus I get my sorority sisters and friends to go too). Personally, I would look at what you are looking for in an organization and then decide for yourself. Give everything a thorough evaluation first! "It's sounds like all Greek to me!" |

That's pretty insulting to your org that you feel you should have pledge at another GLO.
I'd heard a story of one of our old vice presidents renouncing his badge and joining Sigma Pi. Mind you that I like Sigma Pi, I have friends there and we party at each others houses.....buuuuut that really angers me and everyone considers him a traitor knight. If it wasn't a fit why didn't you just depledge? |
wow!

Is this verified- I had no idea that this could happen! I'm actually surprised that he was invited to join another organization at all... |
Quote:
I believe they got around the rules because of the differences between a colony and a chapter. Or something. :rolleyes: |
After reading some of the comments here, I'm really glad that the NPC has the unanimous agreement in place regarding dual NPC memberships.
