NPC groups have (inter)national headquarters and boards, and we also have rules about what we can and cannot do in our letters. It's just that our standards are a little different from NPHC groups. At our convention in 2004, we received tote black tote bags with red, green and yellow on them. "Yellow" isn't really one of our colours (buff is), and I guess by NPHC standards, we would have had violations, because the colours weren't right (especially with the black bags).

In DST you just would not have received tote bags in any colors than what I mentioned above.
I understand that NPC groups have HQs and boards, but with threads like this that keep surfacing and other posts I read about NPC and IFC I just wonder if we function with stricter standards, because of the way our governance infrastructure works. It's not a knock, just an attempt to address the initial post from a DST point of view.
For example, we publish the names of chapters and individuals who violated our policies on our national website. We have an elected national committee with a main function of making sure that our constitution, bylaws, and polices are upheld. We have a regional structure that further facilitates the upholding of the above.
Again, I am not saying one is any better than the other--just different, which may lead to different results.
