I understand that everyone starts out as a local, but some of these organizations I just think come on. Even though merger can help a lot of smaller organizations, why would a strong organization want to take an organization under their wing that can't even get interest? The mergers that I have seen have all been in panhel or IFC and it seems like the organization that took in another organization was at least 30 years old and were WELL established. Can multicultural sororties that are really young right now be able to financially handle a merger? Has a NPHC organization ever had an organization merge with them?
Don't get me wrong, I really think that a merger between at least one of these organizations should happen but what price does each organization pay? It seems like both would have to loose a little bit of something that their organization was founded on. Some for the better and some for the worst.
I really think that people need to REALLY think about starting a new chapter of an existing organization before starting a new organization. There are over 30 multicultural organizations in the nation. The bad part is that it seems like all of them are trying to expand. I would have more respect for them if they just like being a local.
