So as much as I'd love to have a fourth house on campus, and although I'd give full support and effort to any sorority that would try, I'd have to doubt the possibility of that happening.
Barbara, if it can be shown that there are enough women to make another sorority, and the other houses are at total, isn't there something in NPC regs to (for lack of better word) force a new sorority in?
I just have one more question: why does the NPC have such a rule? I know that Christian organizations like Kappa Phi allow their chapters to pledge girls from campuses w/out a chapter, as do historically black sororities such as AKA. Just curious.

Just my idea, but I think it has something to do with the maintaining of the house. I think that probably waaaaay back in the day you might have had inter-chapter membership but I am talking the infant days of sororities.
The NPHC chapters you refer to are called I believe "citywide" chapters and if you search
the general and NPHC forums you should be able to get an explanation as to their structure and organization.
