In terms of the NIC; each of the members at FGCU have given their support nationally to Kappa Sigma; even knowing that Kappa Sigma is not a member of NIC. I believe it shows that giving this support to a non-member; is evident that open expansion is the wish of all nationals. I believe that almost all, if not all actually gave this support in writing. The only one I am not 100% sure if we have a written letter from is Sigma Chi - however I know that they at least did provide a verbal pledge of support for Kappa Sigma at FGCU.
So, no Kappa Sigma is not part of NIC; but every member still supports Kappa Sigma.

Rambler -
I understand the position that Kappa Sigma took. I really, truly do (despite your advisor calling me unAmerican and a person no one should be proud of).
The point I was trying to make in the post where I listed the choices is that even if you didn't agree with FGCU, Kappa Sigma still had choices. Can you see from an outsiders perspective that even if Choice #1 wasn't the Sunshine and Ponies choice, it would have gotten y'all where you wanted eventually. Even if the time frame wasn't clear. My point was, why was waiting such a bad choice? That's one of the questions I wanted answered.
Choice #2 is what many from an outside perspective are seeing. That you refused to wait (asked and denied in November, colonized in December) and in doing so, made it look you were not respectful to the Administration's wishes. I was trying to get your advisor to see how actions on your part might be looked at by the Administration and others.
The whole NIC thing. When advisor first came on, he blasted me and a couple of others with how we were not following NIC resolutions of open expansion. The point that I and Knight_Shadow have been trying to make to him is that it looks hyprocritical for a group that left the NIC to ask for NIC support and quote NIC resolutions, when you are not wanting to be in the NIC (not IFC).
No one here is against expansions or for colonies being treated unfairly. No one here is rooting for Kappa Sigma colony at FGCU to fail. But, your fellow KS brother is not winning your cause any fans.
