Black sororities aim to have a greater presence on campus (GWU)
 
The three black sororities at GW are known for being discreet. They do not hold formal recruitment like traditional sororities. They do not have townhouses on 23rd Street. They do not seek out members; interested women actively find them, members said.


But that's all starting to change.


Once an alternative for black women at GW who felt excluded by traditional sororities in the 1960s, chapters are now trying to blend more with traditional Greek-letter organizations.


There is a movement toward increasing their visibility on campus, said Tura Woods, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. membership chair and president of the Multicultural Greek Council.


"We want to let people know that, yes, MGC is here. Yes, AKAs are here. Yes, Deltas are here. And this is what we're doing," said Woods, a junior.

"Traditional sororities?" WTF?

What phrase were they supposed to use instead?

National Panhellenic Conference (NPC) Sororities?

It's a news article, not an internal document. I don't see the need for the author to have formally used NPHC or NPC in this case.
