3-4 hours!!!??? Why??
I am a delegate to my alumnae panhellenic and our meetings are the first Thursday of the month at 9:45AM. It is only because I work part-time and have a variable schedule that I can attend these meetings. Our meetings last about an hour once they get going.
We have a miz of older women and a few younger women. I once had someone ask me (a younger woman) why more young women weren't involved....and I thought, "Your meetings are on Thursdays at 9:45 in the morning! We're all at work!!!"
In any case, I genuinely believe we're not doing enough to educate our collegiate memebrs about NPC--period. Not just about alumnae panhellenics but about what NPC is. As an example, I hear collegians and alumnae, some of who are involved with NPC, refer to NPC as a governing body--it's not a governing body but a conference of sororities that agrees to operate by agreements (not policies or other government tools.) But since NPC does little to educate our membership about our organization, few would see the difference.
**Steps off soapbox** We need to educate and evaluate our relevance to today's sorority membership.
