IFC and NPC are the governing bodies of the social groups and have regulations which make us all play from an epual playing ground, so we all know who can do what and how. These rules superseed chapter rules so we all follow similar risk mangement plans, not to mention insurance.
NPC groups shouldn't mix with teams either for the same reason, what if something happend, only the sororoty has insurance.
About the Greek Week issue:It would be a different story if the service groups were indeed part of an all Greek Council and that council sponsered Greek Week, then I think it would be OK for any Greek Organization to praticiate.
This will always be an issue amoung campuses across the country unles we can set up national regualtions beacuse the different organzations ae set up so differently.

WOW! That sounds so bad... "I think IFC and NPC groups shouldn't socially mix with Service groups or local groups" --
I know that Kappa Delta used to be Pi Delta here at ECU so are you saying that none of the fraternities or sororities should have recognized you because you were local?
I think it comes down to more than insurance and dues being payed, etc. GSS at ECU doesnt try to participate in Greek Week events or anytihng like that, we do participate in Homecoming but that is open to everyone. We know that there is stuff that social greeks do that we dont and we are fine with that and we dont want to change that either. If there is such a big problem with service greeks doing social activities with social greeks, why not change YOUR rules (of many rules) and say that you wont have events with service/other organizations that are not on your council. But then again, should we as service greeks ask you to stop doing volunteer work for the community because you are a "social" organization. I do think some of the sororities on the ECU campus might get a little ticked that Gamma Sig does social events with fraternities but why should they? The fraternities "choose" to do things with us, sororities with problems - talk to IFC about it. Some say we dont have rules to follow, ummm yes we do. We have anti-hazing policies and rules about alcohol and such. The one rule that I know pisses off some of the social sororities is the one about mixers at the fraternity houses, Panhellenic sororities cannot have mixers at the fraternity houses but we can. Again, we are not under your council, so we dont have to follow that rule. We dont pay money to Panhellenic but why should we, we dont do anything with the group. As registered student orgs. on this campus we all get funding from Student Government, Panhellenic always gets a few thousands, which is another issue, seeing as to how your members of different sororities pay dues into Panhellenic, and we get less that a thousand everytime. We could argue that we should get more because we are SERVICE right? Don't answer that.
Anyway, you are right on one thing...
