The NIC basically skirted around the issue by just simply stating that they "support an opportunity for every fraternity to be on every campus." They did not state that said resolutions are mandates and I have an article written by another VP of the NIC which states said resolutions are purely suggestion.
I also think that this many fraternities and everyone survives is based around a philosophy that a chapter can die out and just be rebuilt. But our campus has special conidtions, we had three ~100 year old local fraternities who are part of the university tradition. One died last year.
So when nationals die, they can be brought back, when locals die they cannot. This has to be factored into our decisions.
Tony,
Good morning and thanks for your email.
The NIC has a very clear position on expansion...we support the
opportunity for every fraternity to be on every campus. We believe that with that opportunity a Greek community will grow. Frequently, IFC's worry that there are only a certain number of men who will join a fraternity. Research doesn't support that belief.
...
My best,
Jon Williamson
Executive Vice President of the NIC
