There is no such thing as nationally conservative or nationally liberal. Specific stands on certain politicial issues are not part of what any NPC sororities are about.

There will be Republicans in every chapter of every NPC, North or South. There will be Democrats in every chapter of every NPC, North or South. You will relate to different women in your chapter in different ways.

I am a Steelers fan who bleeds black and gold from my liberal heart. Junior year, I lived with a die-hard Ravens fan, uber fiscal conservative. You know what? We got along marvelously despite our differences because we found other things we had in common. One of the beautiful things about sorority membership is learning to relate to people different from yourself.

Why let a perception of National conservativeness ruin your chances to make lifelong friends?

Join College Dems and/or a special issue interest group as an outlet. It will allow you to meet even more people on campus and help your leadership skills. If you are all politics all the time, then sorority membership is not for you.

Re: National Focus... NPCs strive for balance and highest possible achievement in all areas of life. That's essentially why sororities exist. Again, the differences will be campus-specific.
