I pledged a social called Sisters Incorporated at Point Park College in Pittsburgh, PA in 1982. It started as Brothers and Sisters Inc., at Clarion University in the late 70's. When I graduated from Point Park in 1985, there was only one member left. No new memebers joined. If there are any SIC/BIC members on this board, please let me know!

Mango - the word "socials" in this case is used as a synonym for social events or mixers, not social fraternities themselves. Do you know whatever happened to the original chapter of Brothers & Sisters Inc?? I went to Clarion in the 80's and I've never heard of it. Perhaps they went with a national org?
When this policy was put into effect, NPC swore up and down that they were not mandating prohibition or eliminating mixers, but by making rules that make them so expensive to hold I think that for a lot of chapters they have done just that. It's fine if you are Texas A & M and have 200+ sisters paying in dues, but that's not the majority of chapters. That's my main prob with this policy, it is dividing chapters into "haves" and "have-nots."
