There are already alliances between groups...political and otherwise...and I think that may be part of the problem. The so called smaller groups need to come together to discuss what their needs are mutually, and learn from one another--and as far as I know, that does happen from time to time.
I do not get the impression that NPC really is interested in helping member groups grow or maintain membership outside of the agreements regarding campus recruitment. It really is up to each national to take control and make their own plans.
I see the original question as helping smaller GLOs become more known. The reality is--most people who aren't involved in Greek life aren't going to know names of groups or where they are located (except for Tri-Delta, thanks to the SNL skits.) I can go to one town where my org is active and lots of people may know mine, but never heard of XYZ or ABC. Unless SNL makes fun of all of us, we'll probably not ever be as well as known as others.
