Basically, it seems that you think everything should operate based on free market principles, but the members of the NPC groups have decided that it's better to have multiple healthy groups on campus than it is to have a few very large groups and other struggling groups.

Although you have in other threads expressed your belief that certain groups are in fact better than other groups and I guess I can infer from that that you think that other groups should go under through direct competition with stronger groups, the NPC thinks it best protects the interests of member groups when it balances the competition among groups.

And remember, the NPC doesn't have a monopoly. Campuses are welcome to have locals. If an NPC decided that the Green book rules weren't the way they wanted to go, they could leave, I suppose. There may even be non-NPC affiliated groups for all I know.

(Sometimes I wonder if the IFC system is better myself, but while I obviously have a preference for my own group, I don't have as strong a sense as you apparently do that a girls belonging to one group over another makes that much a difference in her Greek experience. Even if she can't be XYZ, there's still a benefit in being QRS in my mind.)

Before I shut up and color, as many seem to want me to do, let me say that I don't believe one group is better than another. I believe one group one any one campus may be the best for each individual, and that an individual should be given the time to get to know that, and to choose.

I'm not willing to let others make those choices for me without my voice being heard, but apparently that's not appropriate in these forums. Here it seems to be go along with the group. Sorry, that's not for me.
