The NPC was originally organized by a group of sororities of similar purpose and size, mainly to establish reasonable rules and regulations governing the method of membership selection. It may surprise many younger members, but for many years the predominately Jewish sororities held a separate rush on most campuses. much as it is with the NPHC sororities today. Following World War II NPC sororities changed their policies and began accepting Jewish (and other minority) members, and the predominately Jewish sororities became less sectarian. Thus, a need arose for the two groups to be included under a common umbrella. The AES sororities were not originally NPC members because they were at a totally different set of institutions. As teacher's colleges became state universities, NPC gorups were suddenly competing with AES groups. As a practical matter they needed to have common rules. I suspect that, as more diversity evolves, within another couple generations we will see the current multi-nation groups and NPHC sororities all under common jurisdiction. It is already happening with the fraternities.
