A question to the NPHC Greeks

[Rain Man]

I want to preface my question by saying I am not in, nor currently know of any existing situation such as this, but I was curious...

Has any of the NPHC GLOs ever had additional chapters as a result of a merger of a local or "up-n-coming" BGLO? For instance, at State U. there was a fraternity or sorority called, say Beta Chi Beta, which was founded in, say, 1980. 5 other chapters were formed at various schools. The membership has been at best, slow and rather stagnant. The BXBs got together and decided that they would be better off merging with the [insert NPHC org here]. Two chapters said NO! The remaining three said yes. Thus the BXBs merged with the [NPHC org] and the remaining 2 chapters dissolved.

I asked this b/c much of the larger NIC orgs' growth was as a result of mergers from other fraternities (Lambda Chi Alpha and Beta Theta Pi to name a few). I was curious if that has ever occured in NPHC orgs.

Sorry for the book
