Yes, but the principle is the same. They realize that a sorority with 25 chapters is NOT going to be able to compete with DST or AKA, and probably not with the other two NPHC sororities either. And this is in a conference where it is much easier to establish new chapters than it is within the NPC. I think it's pretty clear that a sorority with 13 chapters will not be able to compete Kappa or Chi O; it's quite possible that it won't be able to compete with TPA or SDT. As much as I would like to see the NPC expand, I do think that sororities who are looking to join should establish a solid base before applying for membership, and I don't think those 13 chapters are enough for a solid base. Considering how much easier it will be for them to expand before they join the NPC than after, and how much more their number of chapters will matter after they join the NPC than before -- it just makes sense.
