And we're not that big either; we have 87 chapters and 7 colonies. We are also now getting selected over larger, and better known fraternities on a consistent basis.
If you're wondering why "smaller" NPC groups are passed over in favor of "larger" groups, I'm willing to bet you that it has less to do with size or reputation than it does with the professionalism of that NPC group. Why should anyone expect a volunteer director of extension to succeed over her professional counterparts?

I dont beleive that is true at all. Just because someone is paid, doesn't necesarily mean that they are more professional. Volunteers can do just as good of a job as a paid person and I dont really think they come out and say, "Hey, they pay me to do this, so we are more professional."
I think it looks better to have a volunteer presenting because it shows thewir dedication to their org. to work without pay! Im not trying to bash anyone I just took it as an insult to say that a volunteer is not professional in that sense.
*Sorry for the bad spelling, I am very very sick at the moment and do not feel like fixing any of it!
