Phi Chi is an associate member of Pan at MTSU, and I definitely think it's beneficial to us. We're included in nearly everything, (I mean, yes there was that whole Homecoming fiasco, but that's another bitter story...) we hold offices, we vote on everything that could remotely pertain to us, and we have a lot of rules that are like NPC groups. Yes, we have more freedom, and we don't rush with them - we're required to hold rush afterwards. The best thing about being a local pertaining to recruitment - we can call the girls, invite them to lunch, met up with them so they can feel they already know someone... We have our own version of formal recruitment with all the freedom we could want. I personally think a lot of the limitations set forth by NPC are extremely beneficial and wish that we would vote to adopt more of them (alcohol policies, etc). I don't want to hold rush at the same time. We would be way overshadowed. I can't imagine not being intimidated by the next room holding a chapter 10 times our size...
