shultzz: 33 took the words right out of my mouth...
I have been in a local....anyone listening. And I know both sides, but when the general public thinks sorority, they probably think NPC. They are widely known b/c they have chapters all over the nation and some in other countries. So, yes a local has potential to send bad PR our way and yes it can go the other way around, but when you have such a large NPC system that is what peolpe associate with sorority.
When I went to school I didn't know the difference and the average person doesn't know either. But NPC groups are all under similiar guidlines and standards, so it is difficult to be judged by a local's behavior b/c it isn't under the same governing...
We ran into the same thing on campus, we didn't have policies in place for drinking and no risk managment policies and it is hard when we are not all on the same playing feild.
It's not bashing...it's the truth. When we were local we were very aware of the differences and loved that about us, we never thought it was us against them and complained about it. We dealt with it and decided to move and become national b/c we saw the advatage...that's not the case for all and I understand that but we don't all have to be the same to get along.
