Ok - this makes sense to me. It sounds like NPC sororities are all like sisters to each other more than competition. I see how that's a great thing, but isn't it hard to maintain your identity in the bigger family?

We feel that encouraging Greek Life in general helps each of our sororities in particular.

Absolutely. Theta Nu Xi strongly supports Greek Life and Unity, but we definitely do it in another way. Maybe that's an asset to all though. We're getting at different aspects of anti-Greek sentiment.

Well there's the difficult bit. Everyone knows that the chapters on campus don't always get along. We ARE girls after all. It's easy for me to step back now and not roll my eyes at members of XYZ, but a year ago.. geez man they were the enemy!

Luckily our HQs are able to step back and try to work for Greek Life as a whole. On campus, panhel has to enforce the rules, and generally they get along just fine, but you don't lose your identity in some panhellenic org, because there isn't one. Does that make sense?

On the national level, we all work together even though we are distinct. On the campus level, we're made to work together even though we are distinct.
