Is this legal? Deactivated one NPC, now part of a new NPC.

There are just so many problems with this whole thing.

Clearly many colleges and universities simply won't bother with compiling all of the extracurriculars of every student. Whether or not someone tries to join two different NPCs means nothing to them. Even if they did keep the information, a student who was a member of an NPC at one school who knows they're transfering to another school without a chapter of their NPC or with a "weak" chapter that they don't want to affiliate with (and they plan on going through Recruitment again) simply won't sign a waiver to disclose their affiliation. Why would they?

My earlier response to the idea of a giant NPC database may have seemed flippant but I honestly believe it will never happen. An NPC group can't just hand over personal information about their members to someone else even if it's the NPC itself. Can you imagine how many thousands of irate women there would be? And I'm not talking about Social Security Numbers either.

I joined Kappa Delta not XYZ and as far as I'm concerned XYZ has no business having my personal information. NPC would have to pass a resolution in order to be allowed to compile that kind of information. Oh, and that would only entail contacting a few hundred thousand women and asking for their permission and receiving it. It will never happen!

You have tools today such as Facebook, etc. that we didn't have back when I was a collegian. These can help you with getting "the dirt" on PNMs. What it comes down to is doing your own leg-work. If you're really concerned about this issue then bring it up with your chapter and your advisors. There simply isn't going to be an easy solution here.
