I also want to know who "they" is. I say that this is complete nonsense. I could perhaps see a few national sororities merge, but if all NPC groups survived the decline in membership in the 90s, I'd say that they are in pretty good shape for the foreseeable future.

That's not a great comparison. The NPC is for more involved with the policies and operations of its constituent groups than the NIC is with its constituent groups.
Also, I've never run into an administrator during extension talks who has asked if Phi Psi is a member of the NIC (we are a charter member.) They want proof that we are national, have a risk management policy, an insurance carrier, staff support, and programming.

As for why smaller organizations aren't there, well, I hate to sound mean, but Stockton hit the jackpot when a group like Tri Delta expressed interest.

Ever hear of research? Apparently Tri-Delta did their homework and found out that this is a 34 year old public college with an average SAT of about 1,100 for incoming students. Sounds like my fraternity should look into Stockton as soon as our extension load lightens up.

Most NPC groups have a much larger staff, and a similar number of volunteers. There is no substitute for quality staff. Especially when it comes to extension, which is what this thread is about. There is just no way that a part time director of extension can make every conference, and fly to every meeting unless she is basically acting full time on her dime.
