A member of a sorority at Wisconsin-Madison urges the university’s Panhellenic council to allow women enrolled at a local technical college to rush (i.e., go through recruitment), get bids, and become members of NPC sororities.

I think the writer doesn’t comprehend the policies of the NPC or its 26 individual organizations. Panhellenic at Madison simply can’t on its own change the very basic rules of eligibility for undergrad membership.
How about Unanimous Agreement III, 2. B
“2. To be eligible to participate in Panhellenic recruitment and pledge an NPC sorority, a woman shall:
A. Not be simultaneously enrolled in high school and attending college.
B. Be regularly matriculated according to the definition of matriculation established by that institution.”
I think that most students at the local technical college are not “regularly matriculated” at Wisonsin-Madison.
That said, what about the general idea of opening recruitment to women enrolled in nearby two-year institutions? If it somehow did become allowable, would any GCers be in favor? Against? Care to discuss?
