What am I as a GC member supposed to think or do about that info? Why do I need to know that? What might a newbie PNM who checks that list out think? Will she think negative or positive thoughts about the GLOs listed?

A few thoughts:
A. The list of NPCs was begun when a bunch of GCers got excited and thought "maybe we could work our way through the NPCs!!" It wasn't meant to highlight any group as "not doing well" with GC PNMs. For example, I know that last year Gamma Phi, Tri Sig, and AZD all got new members on GC, but haven't this year. By the same token, I don't remember my beloved Pi Phi getting a GC new member last year! Obviously it's not because those groups suck, it's just a way of showing Panhellenic feeling and rooting for other groups. Personally, if a thread doesn't have Pi Phi, I'm ususally rooting for SigDelt or a smaller group--I *love* to see the love spread around.
B. And really, with like 35 placed new members, we have 16 NPCs--that's really awesome odds. I'm actually surprised at the diversity we do have. We also have locals and professionals represented.
C. The list of unrepresented groups is buried in the thread. Obviously it's not appropriate for the first post. I didn't put it there, and only someone who goes searching through the thread will find the list (accompanied by my loud screams every time we get a new group!).
D. I don't get why it matters which groups are represented and which ones aren't. I mean, conceivably we could have had every GC PNM this year go AGD by some freak coincidence. Would that mean that AGD was "better" than other groups and that Pi Beta Phi was "worse"? No, all that means is that AGD is better for those PNMs.
E. The thread is meant to be celebratory, period. Anyone who knows me knows that I am a Panhellenic thinker and that I am *NOT* an inflammatory GCer. I wouldn't do anything I don't think is appropriate.
Ok back to regularly scheduled thread.
NO STALKING!!
