Just to kind set the scene - bowsandtoes ( a member of a national/international fraternity, I believe) implied that Theta Phi Alpha did not have national name recognition. My point is that they are indeed a national NPC GLO, and thus they have a national name recognition. That doesn't mean that everyone knows it, or that you can stop any greek and they would know it. It does mean that anyone active in NPC activity would know it, and I think certainly all NPC members should at least recognize it as part of the NPC. No man is an island, and no NPC exists alone. The more you know, the more you appreciate both your own history and the movement in general. Because fraternities co-exist with the NPC groups, I'd expect them to be familiar with the groups, just as I am with both large and small IFC members and the like groups.
I just hate the implied superiority in the idea that if a group is not at YOUR campus or YOUR part of the country, they are somehow inferior.
