I've thought about the inclusion of another 27th member of the NPC.
(Remember, there were other groups in the NPC, as associates or full members: Beta Phi Alpha, Beta Sigma Omicron, Delta Sigma Epsilon, Lambda Omega, Theta Sigma Upsilon, Theta Upsilon, Sigma Phi Beta, Iota Alpha Pi, Pi Kappa Sigma, Alpha Delta Theta- all were absorbed except IAPi)
Maybe Kappa Beta Gamma will finally affiliate, as they have been working hard to expand. If not them, probably not anyone else.
Other groups have found their niches in other umbrella organizations. If it ain't broke, don't fix it, so to speak.
Other umbrella organizations similar to the NPC died out- the National Junior College Panhellenic, the Association of Educational Sororities. Junior Coll Panhel died out and so did its sororities- ex. Eta Upsilon Gamma.
AES folded because the NPC invited the sororities to membership. And the AES sororities lost members b/c dual memberships were not allowed. ASA, AST and SSS survived, but Theta Sig Up went to AGD, PSK to Sig Kap, and DSE to DZ.
NPC has strict rules which some sororities might not want to deal with, esp if they are thriving without NPC membership. Random fact- part of the reason NPC wouldn't allow Achoth to join was b/c Achoth did not have a Greek letter name... enter Phi Omega Pi.)
I also feel that some sororities will choose to leave the NPC, although that does make me sad. IAPi left the NPC when its numbers dropped, sadly they couldn't stay afloat. Hopefully if a sorority leaves the NPC, they'll be able to thrive!
