True, but they paid for doing so for over a decade and guaranteed themselves a spot at the bottom of that hierarchy. The other chapters saw what happened to them and learned the lesson of what happens to sororities that bid black women. It wasn't until 2015, when the actives of multiple chapters rebelled against the alumnae, that things changed. Each year we see more and more black women in the NPC there, so there obviously was an interest but an understanding that it wasn't possible.
