 I see your point, but the NPC didn't go to these chapters and ask them to jump ship from their national org. To help these non-NPC groups grow, we must turn down legitimate chapters seeking affiliation who have no intention of staying in the non-NPC group since they don't provide the services they promised? NPC organizations have not been aggressive in these situations so why should they have to apologize for a national not growing or succeeding? It sounds like KBG tried to expand too quickly and was not able to keep up. I doubt they are going to fold like a cheap suit just because one of their new chapters decided not to stay with them. From all of the posts by the one member BootyKBG, they are trying to reorganize. I wish them the best of luck. I think any of our groups can sympathize with chapters closing because they made poor choices or things didn't work out like they planned.
