How is it that the campus has NPHC orgs yet no NPC or NIC? I just want to understand the logic.
To be honest I'm not sure why they have never had NPC or NIC groups. The "W" as it is affectionately called in the State of MS, is the oldest public university for women in the country. (It might have even been the first too.) The campus is rather small so I'm not sure if it could support NPC and NIC groups. My father-in-law lives in Columbus, MS where it is located. From driving by it many times, I get the feeling it's more a commuter campus. However, it is rich in tradition and history. (Eudora Welty is one of their well-known alumna--there had even been talk about changing the name to Welty University I believe.)

Anyway, I think their social tribes/clubs have just always been the norm there. I always wondered why Delta Gamma (since they were founded up the road in Oxford in 1873) never had a chapter the "W."

Good question...have to ask around to see if anyone knows!
