Do your locals follow any of NPCs rules when it comes to rush/recruitment? Do you feel you're better off being the only national?

My collegiate chapter has been the only NPC group on campus for the last almost 17 years. Technically there are 3 local sororities, but only one group seems to even recruit each year. Those groups have been around decades longer than my sorority, and they conduct their own recruitment and pledge period.
I don't think my sorority is better off being the only national. In my own personal opinion, it would be wonderful if another NPC group came to campus because that would mean more women are interested in Greek Life. NPC groups offer a lot of things the local groups can't. And while I don't want to assume that all local sororities haze, the ones at my alma mater definitely do - and that's not what I want the campus community to think of Greeks.
There are a lot of NPC alumnae who belong to the local APH, but because of our isolation (Hawaii) and the fact that Greek life isn't really strong on campus, not too many groups are interested in colonizing. Sadly, it'll probably be that way for a while.
