But, as an FYI to the OP, this is not just on your campus. This is an NPC resolution adopted on October 22, 2010 applying to all campuses (campi?) When you chose membership into your organization, you agreed to abide by it's rules. Even if you are a local, if you are in your campus Panhellenic, same situation.

Here's a link to the resolution:
http://www.npcwomen.org/resources/pd...ecruitment.pdf
If this is the "NPC law" the OP is talking about, it doesn't even seem to do what she claims. The "Resolved" paragraphs say (with my emphasis):
Quote:
Resolved, That pursuant to the provisions of Title IX of the Education Amendment of 1972 confirming the single-sex designation for women’s and men’s fraternities, the National Panhellenic Conference member groups expect their members not to participate in any men’s fraternity recruitment events; and
Resolved, That College Panhellenics are encouraged to adopt a policy that restricts Panhellenic women from participating in any men’s fraternity recruitment events.
The main predicate for these "Resolved" paragraphs is this:
Quote:
Whereas, Women serving as hostesses and guests for men’s recruitment events or participating in any way may compromise the ability for men’s fraternities and women’s fraternities/sororities to remain single sex organizations;
I'm not sure how "participating in any men's fraternity recruitment events" equals saying anything that favors a particular fraternity.

And sorry, and perhaps it's because I just happened to read this thread again, but I did chuckle at how the resoution applies NPC terms -- recruitment and prospective new members -- to men's groups that typically don't use those terms.
