Most NPC ploices CURRENTLY prohibit mixing with uninsured groups (i.e. Service groups without the minimun coverage(Liability and $1,000,000), altheltic groups, and locals as well). IFC groups have insurance, if they were not covered their National Organization wouldn't allow them to be recongnized on a college campus, they average member may not know that, but their President and Tresurer do.
What makes you think that Service organizations are not insured organizations. If we are not insured then it would be highly unlikely that we wouldn't even be able to be on campus as a register organization anyway. I think you are just reaching for an excuse for not sponsoring events jointly on your campus. Jointly sponsored event has been happening all across the nation. the reason is multifold. We have ablities on some campuses that other organizations don't. We consistently do more service events on campuses and jointly sponsored service events will help social organizations get service hours.
I understand the attempt not to shun another organization. But sometimes counciled individuals look at a non-counciled organization as a "not so organized" organization. This can't be futher from the truth. With several campuses with charters and with it's longevity in existence, "National Service Organizations" must be able to protect themselves. We are talking about students here. It would silly not to have insurance.
The main problem is that some Council organizations feel that the playing field they existed on should be elevated above non-Counciled organizations. And anything Such as Service Greeks, should not exist as Greeks at all. aren't they crossing some lines they shouldn't be.
Hummmmm. Come on now. I think that it is absolutely wonderful to have a Service Greek take part in Greek Sing. And the postitive action could only be look at as positive by non-GLO individuals. I think that if you are going to allow a NServiceOrg to take part in your activities, then as a Council, they should develop some sort of registration packet including signing waivers. The alternative is not allowing a highly recognize campus sorority group to perform. That can only be look at as a Negative Council Action by Non-GLO individuals. Think about it.
