NPC and PC

How do I explain to the Student Activities Coordinator in the Office of Student Life that NPC and PC are not the same thing? I gave an explanation by obviously it was not simple enough for her...

Give us a little more info....

What did you tell her? When you say PC are you talking about a college Panhellenic Council or just a Greek Council? Why do you need to explain this to her (are you trying to start a Greek Council on campus?)

If she needs to know general info about NPC as a whole, look at their website at npcwomen.org. If you want to set up a Greek Council (not a College Panhellenic associated with NPC) then you should get some info from schools that have a Greek Council (and I'm sure there are plenty of GreekChatters here that can direct you to those schools or give you info!)

Compare NPC to McDonald's and PC to [insert name of local restaurant here].

You could also compare it to Girl Scouts--there's the international organization and then there are the local scout troops. There's probably a million different examples you could use.

I tried to tell her that NPC is the National Panhellenic Conference and is made up of 26 national sororities.

The Panhellenic Council is a local governing body at our school that all sororities are involved in...or used to be anyway. My sorority and another sorority dropped out of PC because of a disagreement...

The Greek Council is a local governing body at our school that all sororities and fraternities are involved in.

I'm trying to find a simple way to tell her the difference so she can make a correction on the school website.

NPC is an industry trade group. If she can't understand that, then she is too stupid to be working in an institution of higher learning.

Since someone here mentioned Girl Scouts, let's put it this way. If the person at Student Activities is very familiar with the Girl Scouts/Girl Guides system, then one can compare NPC to WAGGGS (World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts) and PC to say, Girl Scouts of America. I dunno.
