OmegaPDPrez, I just want you to know that as a very active alum, I've worked with a great many chapters at a great many schools. And I've seen many chapters from other organizations than my own. And I must say that I think sisterhood is universal. Sure, there may be a chapter here and there that need some work with it, but I really feel they are few and far between. And I do not believe that locals or NPCs are better or worse with their sisterhood. There are definitely differences between the two, but all are real sororities. I do not know what campus you are from, so I cannot speak of them. But across North America, I believe you'd find that NPCs do have strong sisterhood like locals, and generalizations based on your campus experience alone may be incorrect.
MaryAmanda, good luck with your pursuit. I am a charter member of my group (joined after we chose an NPC), and a huge amount of alums from our local came back to be initiated as AIs. It was great to meet them and see how much they still cared about us. Many are still active in their alum groups too.
