Outside of the NPC world "fair" is not necessarily an issue. It's freedom of association. They're following the campus rules and shouldn't be prohibited from starting a new organization simply because the NPCs on campus (50% of the sororities) aren't ready to expand.

My opposition has nothing to do with NPC or non-NPC---I was part of a local that colonized with an NPC during my undergraduate years, so I have no bias and I believe there is a place for local organizations on some campuses. If this was a campus of all local organizations that voted not to allow expansion because several were not at total or otherwise struggling, I would say the same thing. Campuses need to invest in those who have invested in them--in this case, the groups that already exist. And while sometimes a new group can infuse the system with energy, it is my understanding that the "system" has essentially voted 'no' and there shouldn't be a loop hole around it.

Now, if this was to found a multicultural where none existed or a service organization where none existed to fill a need, that might be different. But that's not what these women want to do, so I go back to the campus should support the existing groups first.
