I take those posts with a grain of salt but I wonder if these ideas are a reflection of the rest of Panhellenic. NPC is a unified, 114 year-old organization whose members work toward PANHELLENIC strength. This means ALL 26 groups succeed because they work TOGETHER.

If the larger and strong NPCs are the ones that are desirable, won't that just cause the smaller groups to weaken? A panhellenic or university asking for NPC groups to present may choose presenters based on availability of local alums to assist what would become their new chapter. There are, for better or worse, NPC groups without strong alum representation in various areas of America.

I just see a lot of hate towards certain groups on the other site and based on these posts, it seems like certain colonies aren't given a fair chance due to these national stands. Each collegiate woman is chosen by her sorority based on factors unique to each particular group. Greekchat members promote keeping an open mind, during recruitment, to ALL PNMs.

When I went through recruitment years ago, I honestly had no idea about national tiers and didn't affect my decision but it seems like it's more of a factor nowadays.

Thoughts?
