NPC sororities and other national sororities

[DSTRen13]

There have been instances of an NPC chapter being suspended at a school, and interested girls bringing a non-NPC group to their school to join "in the meantime". (This happens with NPHC and certain groups as well.) Obviously, this is WRONG to do, but it's even more wrong when once the NPC group comes back and all the girls who really wanted to join that group bolt from the group they brought to campus and leave a handful of girls behind who joined the org for the right reasons. IMO, it would be completely inexcusable for those girls to shut down the chapter they created for their "in the meantime" group.

(I realize this is not the same as the two instances that you are discussing, I just wanted to throw it in as something that does happen.)

There's a different between bringing in an existing group and creating a group that will serve as an interest group. The latter is perfectly acceptable. The former is sketchy.

She's talking about something like:

Sigma Kappa gets suspended from campus for 2 years (for intimidating everyone with their hotness)
The girls who had been interested in SK but didn't get to pledge start a chapter of Gamma Sigma Sigma
SK gets off their suspension and all the GSS sisters who really wanted to be SKs quit GSS.

Don't get me started on the whole "starting a chapter of a non-NPC national and acting like an NPC to get around the campus not being open for expansion" concept.

Yes, thank you, that's what I meant. To use your hypothetical, it sucks for the girls who joined GSS and DIDN'T want to be SKs that get left behind, and it sucks for GSS overall who have to pick up the pieces and repair the damage to that chapter. If the SK girls closed the GSS chapter entirely upon their leaving, that would just be downright MEAN.

They can. There's nothing prohibiting them from doing both, but if they only reason they started the GSS chapter was because the SK chapter was suspended, then they don't really care about the org, it's just a substitute for them until SK comes back.

oh ok...i got you...but then again, that is kinda hard to prove that, since both orgs have different scopes. one is service, one is social...but i get what you're sayin
