If AB and DEF were on the same campus when the NPC decided that DEF was going to absorb AB- what would happen? Is absorption a gradual process?


ETA: omg my spelling is atrocious
The bigger wave of absorptions happened so long ago and when all the organizations were so much smaller that to be quite honest, I don't know what would happen nowadays. But there are definitely organizations that are struggling in some way (for whatever reason). They don't need to be named, please let's not make this a "buaha your org is smaller than mine" thread or cause even more people to get butthurt about other things.

Also please do not conflate fewer chapters or smaller numbers with "weak" - often times small numbered orgs can be quite powerful - often when a group is facing closure/absorption there's something else going on internally that's no one's business but their own.

Actives/alumnae would still be members to the new larger org (or, if there's a name change, to that org) if they choose to. I would imagine it would be similar to a chapter of a local organization being absorbed by an NPC organization, if that makes sense. Also, the NPC wouldn't make that decision, I don't think. It would be made between the leadership bodies of each individual organization.
