NPC question

[DubaiSis]

They COULD but they'd have to accept NPC recruitment policy and somehow I don't see that happening. I think there are some schools where it could work, but having the NPHC convert to rush instead of intake would kind of go against everything they stand for.

I could see, if they wanted to increase their membership at a big school that has a very diverse population, they could participate, at least partially, in formal rush. And I suppose if it went well they could expand the test.

I don't see it for most of the MCGLOs (including the Asian ones) because most of them aren't at nearly enough schools to be able to compete financially. But they could still participate in formal rush if they wanted to. 4-H participates in rush at Illinois, for example. And I think this is the answer at Indiana. Before long NPC is going to be fully represented and they probably still won't have resolution for the numbers problem. So they start begging the NPHC, MCGLOs, specialty GLOs, etc. to participate to defray some of the abundance. I have some ideas swirling through my head on how to do that, but it would head us WAY off topic.

I kind of think this whole discussion is inappropriate. The NPHC and the MCGLOs are thriving without the NPC. I'm sure if they wanted to be part of the NPC, it could happen, but I can't imagine why they'd want to.

Sort of. They have a house and participate in the first round, but the only PNMs who are eligible for membership are 4-H members, so it isn't truly participating.
