Why are there TONS of local sororities and they can co-exist with NPC orgs peacefully? HC (as far as we know, anyway) the original 9 NPC orgs (Alpha Phi, Pi Beta Phi, Gamma Phi Beta, Delta Gamma, Delta Delta Delta, Chi Omega, Kappa Alpha Theta, and Kappa Kappa Gamma) didn't have that "the buck stops here" mentality.
Just to make a point, the original 9 NPC groups were NOT necessarily the oldest groups founded.

And I'm also guessing there are STILL women out there who think it's horrible that they let those "teacher sororities" join NPC. My point is that just because everyone's in NPC, it certainly does not mean every sorority is on an equal footing.

NPC isn't going to begrudge anyone the right to start a local, but if that local's copying things from an NPC or if everyone and their sister is starting locals rather than looking into the NPCs already there, then yes, there's going to be fur a flying.

Don't even get me started on the pedicure artwork.
