I agree with dec that by a COMPLETE media blackout, NPC does cut off its nose to spite its face. That's what happened with Sorority Life. NPC didn't think that MTV would even bother w/ the show if they couldn't get an NPC group....they did, and now NPC has had to do lots of back pedaling.

That being said, it would be great if there was something along the lines of "In Search of Sisterhood" for women pursuing NPC membership. There was a very positive article in "Seventeen" quite a few years ago (we've discussed it on here) that I am sure the sorority chapter had to sign off on before it was published.

But I don't blame the NPC groups for being gun shy at this point, because everything to do with a sorority gets twisted out of proportion. There was an email about what clothes to wear for rush that was circulating on the net to the amusement of various feminist sites. It was just what any large chapter would do for rush and the girls got ripped to shreds. I'm sure that the same women follow a dress code at the companies where they work.
