Hi-I wasn't trying to suggest that ESA or Beta or KBG should be used as stepping stones to joining a national NPC. I don't think that would be very ethical. I was saying that if they wanted to join a larger, national organization how about that instead of an NPC. Maybe those groups would fit their needs better. I know on a college campus Beta's and ESA's can paticipate in the college panhellenic. If they want they can join the college panhellenic and rush with them-if panhellenic chooses to let them in-different on every campus. Or the could rush separately. They will not be part of National Panhellenic of course, but maybe that isn't necessarily a goal of theirs...I dunno. I thought they just wanted to be part of something bigger and she mentioned that some of the girls did NOT want to be part of a national NPC group. Which I think is understandable. Just giving options.
