they obviously fulfill a need, or the group would die out. for instance, as ksuviolet said, there are 26 npc sororities. if someone decided that there were too many npc sororities and some had to be eliminated, which groups would be the ones to go?

every year during npc recruitment, many pnms go bidless-on a large campus enough usually to start several new chapters. if we were to limit the number of npc sororities, more women would be going bidless.

i think there is room for all of us.
I completely agree...and I don't think that this is a new trend. If you look on ebay, there are numerous badges for sale from old defunct local and national organizations. You just don't know about these groups because they aren't the 26 NPC groups that you hear about.
