It may be discrimination on behalf of the school, but they're just trying to protect themselves from any lawsuits that could occur with a non national organization. It's a HUGE liability on behalf of our ogranization and the university itself to not have national backing if an incident were to occur. We already have chapters of Gamma Sigma Sigma and the other co-ed service fraternity at this campus, but that doesn't matter since we're looking to continue the tradition of a social organization. Since we are currently associate members of PHA (unable to vote or hold office) we're definately wanting to have full membership after extension. Therefore, a NPC sorority is really our only option either way. We have not spoken to NPC in regards to extension because PHA has not voted to extend yet since my chapter has yet to vote on a possible merger. We will be voting on if we want to merge or not at the end of the month with pha voting to extend by the end of the semester. I really wish NPC could at least tell us ballpark figures about cost, time length, and the general process before we as a chapter vote on merging or not because many girls in my organization are concerned about that. While most of the girls in my sorority are persuaded that going national would be the best solution to our many problems, if we had more information about the process I think more girls would be for it. Also, I'm well aware about what going national would do to us as a chapter regarding rituals, name, mascot, flower, etc. We would no longer be able to keep these things but would be allowed to teach our history of it in new member education. This seems like a small sacrafice to better our ogranization as a whole.
