I would say that at ECU, if asked how many fraternities and sororities, the average person would say 16 IFC and 9 NPC and I think all 9 NPHC...things have changed since I was in school!
I think why we do not consider service groups, music groups and so on in that is b/c we belong to the same governing bodies, function under the same regualtions and numbers and membership selection and requirements. IFC/NIC, NPHC, and NPC have relationships and work together on issues and such...
We did have a local and they were part of ECU Panhellenic but were still not considered a full on sorority b/c of the lack of requirments nationally and locally.
If you ask me, I guess we all are Greeks, but there are different levels. Since I was never in anyting other than an NPC group I do not know the background on other sororities...so I cannot say how similiar they are...
But if you want to talk what the general public thinks....well, when 20/20 does a story they usually try to go after IFC/NIC/NPHC/NPC groups...maybe b/c they generally think of those groups as the most accepted as Greeks...not real sure on that.
