Do NPHC GLO's have houses? How does this affect their numbers if at all?

First of all the occurance of Professional GLO's and their success is dependent on the school. People at my university would laugh at someone who treated their Professional org in the same sense as people treat their social GLO. It is very dependent on the campus. The professional GLO's here tend to be resources, with speakers and presentations...rather than intramurals, parties, big recognizable philanthropies and things that are typical among the social. There's a thread about this somewhere, on whether Social greeks consider professional/service greeks as
"fellow greeks".
As for NPHC chapters, it also depends on the university, and I think it has the same type of situation as it is for NPC or IFC. If all the other chapters have a house they will be hurt, if not then they won't. Now I speak only for the midwest where IFC and NPC chapters tend not to be in any form of competition for potential members. It may different other places.
