I didn't read any of that saying they had to be part of Panhellenic. It just said they were "a committee of the Panhellenic". It also said "good standing of their member group", again not Panhellenic. Maybe it is just me being too literal but I don't think they are breaking any NPC recommendation.

According to the MSU website, they are two separate Panhellenic groups.

Or just not enough non-NPC orgs to have a separate council. I advise at a school where there are only 2 cultural/MCGLOs in total, 1 fraternity and 1 sorority. TNX is an associate member of the CPC, as college rules require they associate with a council, but there is only one.

I don't love this idea. I see that I'm late in responding, but still, I don't feel that this is beneficial to the PNMs. I feel like part of what made my recruitment successful was being able to go to both of my RCs and communicate my feelings to them. If I felt like they didn't really get the stress I was under, I would have been really frustrated. Of course, these girls may have rushed NPC. I think that's the key.

This is somewhat OT, but I also wish that there was more support for girls who get dropped. When I got the call from my RC, I just didn't feel like she completely understood it. And how could she? She'd never been through it! I think it's impossible to do it any other way, but I wish there were another way.

Yup.
