I'm wondering about the differences between "_______-interest" and "_________-only." The NPC certainly wouldn't accept a sorority that only accepts music majors, but I don't know whether or not they would deny a sorority that has a focus on music but accepts women of every major, you know?


Also, the "______-interest" concept may not be dropped even if the label is officially done away with. For example, with aKDPhi, they could easily drop the official Asian-American interest label if they really wanted to join the NPC, but with that history of their organization, their chapters would probably stay primarily Asian-American. It's really the same thing as SDT or AEPhi -- while they accept people of all religions, a number of chapters tend to be primarily Jewish just because that's the way it used to be. I imagine that would be the case if a sorority like aKDPhi wanted to go NPC.
Not that SAI would/should join the NPC, but I think there would have to be a difference between "intrest" and "only." I mean, part of the membership criteria for SAI is a sincere interest in music AND at least one music class. Naturally the NPC wouldn't like the music class bit, but I wonder about the "sincere interest in music"--that seems significantly broad. There are other things that would have to change as well (ie, we don't accept first semester freshman, etc,) but even currently SAI is not limited to music majors, just 2nd semester freshman with a sincere music intrest and one music class and at least a 2.5 (or higher).

Also, wasn't AXO originally a music sorority?

Note: I'm not saying SAI should join--in fact, I'd be against it for many reasons, just using it as an example. (also, I'm not anti-NPC, I just appreciate the differences and value my org as it is now)
