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

I don't really think the logistics of it would even have to go that far. If you are a member of an NPC Sorority, that makes you a member of NPC. If such a database was created, NPC would have to create it, and they wouldn't necessarily need to ask for your permission to have it.

Women who are members of a sorority, that want to access the database, would simply register just like they do on their home sorority website...they could have a cross-check database to ensure that Suzie Q, was actually Suzie Q of XYZ Sorority before granting access.

I don't think it would take hardly anything to create, but again, it all boils down to numbers: How often does it happen? Enough to spend the money to create it?

I suspect that the reason we haven't seen one, is because it's rare.

I'm actually really curious about this.

I just visited the NPC website and one of the things I noticed was that one of the publications they offer has chapter listings and it's specifically noted that names and addresses are not included. I don't know whether this is because it would constantly have to be updated (probably) or because they don't have the info or because they can't release the info.

I called KD and asked if they keep SSNs, anyone else want to step up to the plate and contact NPC to ask about this?
