its been pointed out many a times on GC that alumni involvement is greater in NPHC than NPC, or at the very least ingrained in the potential member upon initiation. Also, NPHC conventions (Boules) happen over the summer (is this the same for NPC?) so it may not be on undergraduate members' radar to attend. If i had to make an educated guess, perhaps that explains the difference in attendance numbers?
I honestly dont know what our last convention numbers were, but I do know it was to be in New Orleans, and then that Katrina thing happened and it got moved to Dallas. I dont know if that threw attendance off. But I'd say we get a few thousand at Boule.
I have a question for NPCers: who is in charge of organizing your conventions, your IHQ, the local alumnae clubs/chapters, or do you have a specific team who coordinates it? I know with ours, the planning is up to the local graduate chapters to the city Boule is taking place, and i believe the surrounding undergraduate chapters assist (or perhaps the chapters that are advised by the hosting graduate chapter?).
