Hope the long-windedness helps!
I have to imagine that Phi Mu & ADPi share this, too: many of the future NPC groups were trying to either take over ADPi/Phi Mu or otherwise downplay the importance of a secret society for college women. That's what forced the decision to go national and to Greek Letters.
