Question about Locals at Ga Tech

The non-NPC sororities do recruitment after the NPC ones and have some limitations on their involvment with campus panhellenic.

So my question is, how does the sorority system function here? It seems like the associates will always be "second-tier" if they are doing recruitment after the bulk of girls have accepted bids. Doesn't that defeat the "panhellenic" attitude we're trying to have? Also, why did panhellenic choose these groups over NPC sororities? I am not familiar with any of these associates, so if they are up-and-coming and soon to be NPC or cater to a certain demographic, maybe they do quite well. I would love to hear any information on this!

Wow, that seems extreemly small for NPC at a major University?

I know Tom...you'd like to see all 26 groups on all 500+ campuses, but it's just not the NPC way!

When I was a student at GT in the 70's, only 11% of the student population was female!!!
There were only three NPC sororities. ADPi was the fourth, it was TBA my sophomore year and became ADPi the next year. Most of the sororities were pretty small at the time. Most coeds became little sisters for the fraternities.
Tech has come a long way!!!

Does Ga Tech post the bid lists like UGA, Auburn, etc? I know my friend will be out celebrating and I'm curious where she ended up!
