Question: Does anyone ever see the NPHC allowing inclusion of a 10th group?
I'm just curious what people think.
There are smaller, but national BGLOs that have been working to expand.
Does anyone ever see the NPHC allowing membership to a new group?
I imagine it would be an incredible undertaking...

Ask an Iota how long it took them to get in. Starang, where are you?

If I recall correctly, one of the requirements for membership in the NPHC is having 50 active chapters. Thus, it would definitely take a while.  That said, I think it will happen -- but not any time in the near future.

I thought one of the reasons why it took so long for Iota to become a member of NPHC was because the council didn't have a procedure for expansion prior to then. I could be wrong.
NPHC has a lot of requirements for expansion and I don't know of any organizations that currently meets all of them and would want to be a member of the council.

I know of one org that possibly could meet the requirements if they ever petitioned membership that was founded in the past 20-25 years. Realistically however, I doubt that they would ever do so, at least anytime soon.

I guess someone PM'd you with curiosity seeing as though no one in this thread expressed they gave a damn.

Wait around long enough and that will change.

Very true. Personally, the NPHC could kick out my org, replace us with KA Order or some band fraternity, and my work, love, and dedication for MY fraternity would not change a bit. I couldn't even tell you the president of the NPHC. The council didn't initiate me.

Yep, it wasn't until 1993 that the NPHC's consitution was amended to allow for expansion. And this happened because of the tenacity of the Iotas.

I was actually thinking about this the other day, not only the NPHC, but will the NPC allow another sorority full membership? Has anyone tried in recent history? What would be the requirements? What would happen if an org within the conference would fold as a national group...would one replace it?
ETA: better wording.

In order for another sorority to become a full member of the NPC, it needs to have 15 active chapters.

No, because there have already been NPC groups fold and no one replaced them. 26 groups isn't the "magic number" or anything.
