Two snaps and a swirl! greeklawgirl mentioned something similar - that the NPC has a moral obligation to try and level things out. It's pretty hard to teach unity at the collegiate level and tell them to help new colonies, assist chapters in trouble etc, when on the national level it isn't happening. I am not saying I want a truckload of money dumped at our HQ's door (although if somone wants to do that, it would be fine) but I think NPC as an entity could be doing more than what it is.
On the other hand, no one MADE ASA join the NPC. No one said if we didn't join the NPC we would disappear. But I think that was what we thought would happen, so we did. We had a chapter at UCLA that closed in 1951 - same year we joined NPC - I'm guessing it was full of people already in other NPC groups. I think we could have stayed around without NPC, but we would be a different kind of sorority. Would that be better or worse for us? There's no way to tell.
warning, do not write reflective posts while listening to Desperado. it's really depressing.
