Getting back to the original intent of this thread. My earlier posts may not have been very clear, but I was trying to specifically address that NPC sororities on a Panhel should not have the right to deny another NPC sorority to enter a campus. If antitrust laws can be applied to not-for-profit corporations, then how can NPC sororities be exempted from the antitrust laws if they act in an anti-expansion nature at either the national (i.e., NPC level) or local level (i.e., Panhel level)?
For example, there was an article in the New York Times today about an antitrust lawsuit challenging the matching system for medical residents. A group of doctors filed an antitrust lawsuit challenging the system that selects and deploys medical residents across the country. The doctors contend that the computerized matching system keeps salaries artificially low and crushes competition that could force hospitals to offer better working conditions.
So why couldn't a group of women, who want to start a new NPC sorority and have been denied by a Panhel (i.e, campus not open to expansion), file a lawsuit under the antitrust laws. There are at least a dozen local sororities, which have been formed to start a new NPC sorority on campus, that this could potentially apply to.
