Reason I'm still reading and posting on this board: there were only 6 chapters when I joined!
So I still think of Sigma Alpha as an "newcomer" to the Greek scene!
We're actually in a very fortunate position -- groups at universities have been coming to us, especially over the last year, rather than us actively recruiting new chapters.
I don't see us trying to affiliate nationally with NPC, unless their requirements were to change. (I believe the recruiting process required would not be possible for a professional organization, as I understand it. I've also heard you have to have at least 15 chapters for a certain number of years, but this may be inaccurate.)
We are a PFA member organization, however.
