No, they are stringent in that the number of chapters required to be in the fold are in this day and age, unrealistic, particularly in light of the fact that there are numerous GLOs (local, regional, and national) that have highly saturated the college student "market". Further, compare that to the NIC and the NPC's requirements for a new org to join, and I gotta say, the NPHC's restrictions are very stringent, as indicated.

Daggone Intense, how well established does an org gotta get? I understand and accept the fact that any particular org must get a few years under its belt to insure survival and a few more years under its belt to insure growth and stability. By no means do I advocate bringing "baby orgs" into the fold, but when an org has been in existence 30-40 years, that's a pretty good indicator right there that they ain't goin' away any time soon.

Truth be told, IMO the reason why the requirements are so stringent is that the NPHC does not want a 10th org in the fold (or 11th or 12th), especially considering how the process of admitting the 9th org was like pulling teeth.

The requirements are fine. The organizations who can not meet the requirements just need to get their weight up.
