learning all 26 NPC sororities is a part of the Tri Sigma new member period. Inside our NM book is four pages with the name, year and college of founding, colors, jewels, flowers and a picture of the badge of every NPC organization. It's really helpful and interesting, plus a good reference tool if you ever have a question.
My two cents on the original topic (forgive me if this has been said before it's a long thread): As a member of a "smaller" NPC, I understand why our national organization has to be so judicious in where they colonize. They have to choose locations which are going to be successful, and it is not always the campus panhellenic turning down smaller orgs, but the orgs themselves deciding that a new chapter wouldn't be competitive at that particular campus. Many times an org may choose to only colonize at smaller schools because they know that's where they'll do well. Does that make sense? I hope it doesn't come off like i know everything that goes on with the extension process or that other arguments aren't equally correct. This is just my input
