I was doing some research of the GLOs at my Alma Mater throughout the past 100 years. When it came to NPHCs, I found it difficult to trace. What I didn't realize was that they typically were not chapters of the university per se, but city-wide chapters.
Since I have had trouble tracking their presence at just one school, I can imagine how difficult it is tracking it over numerous schools.
BTW...if anyone can direct me where to find the information, please PM me.

Just for the record, the vast majority of DST's chapters are campus-based. And even when they are city-wide they are registered as a student org at a least one of the colleges/universities, so they are able to book meeting rooms, etc. For example, the Twin Cities city-wide chapter is registered at the U of MN and even does their financial transactions through the U.
You also may be confusing city-wide with core chapters, where a chapter is campus-based, but has permission from the school to include other nearby schools.
But very honestly, let's be real here. The issue for us NPHCers is that when lists like this are compiled including us (or other GLOs of color) doesn't even cross the poster's mind. That is not to say that poster is a bad person it's just the reality we as people of color face in everyday life. Unless inclusion is pointed out, we will continue to be ignored. And that is frustrating.
And the excuses given here are no different than in the workplace, when a hiring manager says I tried to find a candidate of color, but none came forward. My response is did you do your research as to what publications, etc. a person of color is more likely to read and see the job posting?
