That is a common misunderstanding with our Org....we actually have about 5 or 6 paid staff at our Central Office, it's just our Executive Director of CO is the only paid member of our Supreme Council....

My sorority, Delta Delta Delta, has 8 travelling consultants for our 135 chapters, which comes to less than 17 chapters per consultant. Theta Phi Alpha, the smallest (I think) of the NPC sororities, has one travelling consultant for its 38 chapters. If your chapter needs help, which HQ is more likely to get it to you faster?

Yes! This is a problem! We haven`t had consultants the last 2 years...they're revamping the program, so we will have "field staff" next year.
But in the past we've had 2-3 travelling consultants for 100 chapters! (well we have 110 active chapters now), So some sisters really haven't ever seen a consultant.
Of course the idea of national "caps" is somewhat appealing, but I don't think it would work. Phi Sig is considered a smaller group, but I don't mind that...we have a lot of chapters out there, just not at Big Schools. And according to
Ariesrising's Greek Pages (my only resource for this kind of info) Phi Sig is actually kind of average when in comes to chapters. If we add a colony a year that's great.....I really do not feel the threat that a smaller NPC group is going to disappear due to failure to expand
Expansion is a wonderful opportunity, but IMO, our focus she be on our current active chapters and their well-being for the moment.
