Wow! Kenyon is generally so unsupportive of NPC chapters.

But, IFC numbers are usually (usually) lower than NPC; so, there really isn't a correlation between the decrease in groups for IFC and an addition for NPC. Plus, there are still four existing IFC orgs at Kenyon.

Kenyon no longer allows local groups to form; so, if 60% of the pnms dropped out or did not get a bid and are still interested in being in Greek Life, this is their only option.

60% drop rate! And considering it's a campus with under 2k students on it.

I hope my sorority does well and helps to give PNMs more options.

What in the world?! If they have a 60% drop rate, the solution to their problems isn't to add a new sorority.

They probably want to join nationals, not locals, and there is only national sorority on campus. It also sounds like the locals want to stay that way.

I only saw this in a local system with one NPC chapter where typical NPC rules didn't apply (RFM, quota, etc.) The sororities could decide their pledge class numbers and many people were cut from recruitment before bid day, even if they had gone to a specific chapter for pref.
