I am from a campus with a mixed greek system: 3 NPC, 3 local sororities, 1 regional/NALGO, 2 new NPHC sorority chapters. With this experience here is my feedback.

My school has a mixed system with an Inter-Greek Council being the dominant council. There is no IFC and Panhel only really meets for planning Formal Recruitment. Our locals are modelled after NPC sororities (as opposed the MGLO & BGLO's which recruit a little differently) but they each recruit individually and separately from CPC. There is a some fear that NPC will try to take over recruitment and it comes out during IGC elections when some GLO's are like we don't want an NPC Prez or an all NPC E-Board. But on the same note the fraternities won't vote a local sorority Prez either. The national sororities have problems with the locals because we feel they don't really understand the importance of risk management and having a good reputation (I am not saying this applies to locals at all schools - just mine) and there is a lot of passive agressive anger resulting from this. I feel if the IGC was all local sororities or all national sororities there would be a lot less drama.

We are experiencing a general lack of communication and the sororities are have been doing great in terms of communication for the first time in about 5 years. AST is trying to do its job and support bringing NPC to campus, but as the rumor mill starts to go around, it gets harder, we support both Kappa and Theta.

The best thing to do is have the three of you sit down first with the adminstration to see what they want, then explain explain how NPC works and finally figure out what all the parties involved want. You just have to make sure everyone is on the same wavelength
Hope I was helpful
