When I mentioned one of my reasons for not going NPC being that chapter traditions differ within the same organization, I would say this is the negative side. In my observations,
most MCGLOs encourage uniformity and organizational "pride" that I don't see in NPCs. (I see more freedom for individual chapter identities within NPCs which is what A LOT of women enjoy.) When you join a chapter of TNX, you are just joining an arm of the org, not a distinct entity. I also know that, at least within my own org, people who join might not necessarily get along with their chapter sisters (in a natural sense), but they join because they are joining Theta Nu Xi and that overshadows the immediate circumstance. And, then of course once they have entered into the bond, their personal feelings for the other women make way for respect and a drive to see the organization succeed. On top of that, when we look at aspirants, we're focusing on their qualifications more than their personality (although personality matters to an extent).
