Ahh, but Kappa Sigma and Phi Delta Theta have dropped their membership in the NIC this past year, so the 2000-2001 statistics are no longer vaild. (One would assume that membership numbers and chapter numbers have changed since then as well.) Sorry, I couldn't help it. ;)

As an FYI, Professional Fraternities not included in that figure of 123 Fraternities and Sororities have the governing body the "Professional Fraternity Association"

Just for the record, the PFA is not a "governing body." Neither is the NIC for that matter. (Can't say about the NHPC or NALFO.) They are simply umbrella organizations designed to assist their member groups, provide a unified voice, and allow for inter-GLO cooperation. They do not set policies that are binding on member GLOs in the same way that the NPC does. |
