NPC adding new council members--do you think it could/will happen?

I think I also remember hearing that there are campuses that only allow NPC/NPHC sororities.

Another thing is uniformity of policies. For example, when many orgs decided to have dry housing around 2000 (Alcohol-Free 2000, I think it was called), they went to the NPC to ask member orgs to support them. NPC agreed to move toward banning wet events in fraternity housing. Before the full ban was in force, it was tough on collegians to be in a chapter with much more restrictive rules than others. It sounds stupid and petty, but it sucks to have your pledges asking why their friends in other orgs are allowed to do X and they are not allowed to do X.

If you're fine without a council, you're fine without a council. I am just trying to answer the question of what a council does for its members. NPC, granted, is largely about recruitment and parity, but there are other things as well.



I don't like being quoted and race-baited when nothing I said has anything to do with race. I have been talking exclusively about orgs that don't already have a council.

So what was your point since the NPHC clearly is a council.
