Having said that, offhand none of us can say for sure that the majority of mergers or dissolutions of former NIC/NPC orgs were as a direct result of them being too young, having a weak membership, or not solidly established.
But fear not; I will go to the library and get the latest copy of Baird's Manual where there is an entire section devoted to "Greeks That Are No More", which among other things, gives explanations as to why they merged or dissolved. Perhaps that might give us more insight as to whether the stringent membership is truly justified.
I'll keep you posted. Stay tuned.

OK, I began my research on this topic. However, because it is going to be lengthy, I will put the
specific details in the "A Question to the NPHC Greeks" thread and a
summary of the data from those posts in this thread to help aid in answering Mccoyred's question on whether or not NIC/NPC mergers were due to the respective orgs being too weak to sustain itself.
I already find this to be an interesting topic. You'll see why in the other thread.
