My initial instinct is that the NPC sororities that have come in are starting to do well and shake things up and you're getting defensive. Hazing in NPC sororities is not tolerated AT ALL, but if you think that diminishes their sisterhood, you are sadly mistaken. However, being that improved sisterhood is the justification for your hazing, I can appreciate why you think it. "We humiliate our sisters but nobody every breaks bones or ends up in the hospital" is not an acceptable answer. If on the off-chance you mean phone/door duty is your version of hazing, then maybe we can talk about it.

But from my perspective, the benefits of membership in an NPC far outweigh any benefit you get from being in a local. The biggest being membership for a lifetime. And that's for real. Virtually every member of an NPC sorority, regardless of how old she is, will be within a few hours of an alumnae chapter anywhere in the US. And with regional exceptions, probably in the city where she lives. They provide scholarships, leadership training, and many other things most locals are just not going to be able to provide.

If the reason behind this question is that your group is considering affiliation with an NPC, you should strongly consider it. You will get out of it a lot more than you have to surrender.
