I believe there was a post a couple months back about Phi Sigma Sigma having an international HQ that was heavily dependent on volunteers. In fact, I believe only one of their HQ workers was paid . . . the rest were volunteers. I would imagine there are other sororities that are run similarly. However, I cannot imagine this being the case for the larger ones.
To use travelling consultants as an example:
My sorority, Delta Delta Delta, has 8 travelling consultants for our 135 chapters, which comes to less than 17 chapters per consultant. Theta Phi Alpha, the smallest (I think) of the NPC sororities, has one travelling consultant for its 38 chapters. If your chapter needs help, which HQ is more likely to get it to you faster?
I never said anything about magazines or finances . . . I think that question should be directed at greeklawgirl, who posted above me. And I don't believe anybody said anything about a group not having a magazine or leadership consultants -- just that they are expensive.
As FuzzieAlum pointed out, the more stable your financial situation is, the less likely you are to be put out of business if you're slapped with a lawsuit. And as Greeks, we all know that lawsuits are a constant threat.
