Question: Does anyone ever see the NPC allowing inclusion of a 27th group?

I either have the information at home in a book or it's online here on the site, 'cause I know it's been discussed before.

I actually have no record of us being involved with NPC, so I would be thrilled to find out truth behind this. If anyone really does have records of our membership it would be greatly appreciated. However, as far as I and everyone else that has been involved with nationals since probably 1994 knows, we were never NPC.

We've actually been having problems with NPC over the past year, in that we have been treated like a local from the standpoint of regional panhell and national once it came straight down to it. Loyola Chicago allowed "expansion" this past semester and gave permission to NPC to take over one of our chapters. Because we weren't NPC, we were not treated with the respect a national organization deserves by the school's Panhell advisor (who is out next year, thank god), nor NPC nationally. This kind of leaves us in an ugly situation with NOT wanting to be NPC because of the lack of respect we've recieved from them, yet WANTING to be NPC because we would have way less fights with administrations when it comes to expansion, or even situations such as that at Loyola. We would have quite a way to go yet though before becoming NPC would even be an option again.

And yes, I know our website needs major updating. I should have it fixed fairly soon.

BootyKBG -

I"ll try and find the information this weekend and post it for you. I *think* it may be in the Sorority Handbook by Ida Shaw Martin or in my 1930's Bairds.

It's not in the 1931 Sorority Handbook. I just got my hands on a copy of it last weekend - very neat book. Like a mini Baird's Manual.

I think my handbook is pre-1930. I have an early 30's Baird's, too.

Barbara, do check there -- my 1968 Baird's has no mention of any NPC connection for Kappa Beta Gamma.

I corresponded w/ a member of KBG around 10 years ago, and she was the one who told me they were former NPC members. If she was off the mark, that's where I got my info from.

I know a few girls from a chapter that would NOT be happy about becoming NPC.
