How does one suggest a makeover?

Go back through and do a search, I know there was a thread somewhere that clearly explained the process of Locals being absorbed into both NPHC and NPC orgs.. I would say definantely get answers on that first because as someone already mentioned you certainly will offend someone in your local when you mention going national.

I think this post wins the "Most wrong info in one post" award.

National Panhellenic will accept a NEW GLO with a certain amount of chapters (with the youngest being at least 2 years old). It has nothing to do with individual NPCs taking over locals.

Individual women cannot join a GLO that is not on their campus, so I'm not sure what you mean by that. A GLO can accept ALL of the members TOGETHER of a local who want to become an NPC.

And I have absolutely no idea why you even brought NPHC into this, as it surely has nothing to do with this conversation. I don't think there has been any time in history where an NPHC has absorbed a local, and I don't think there ever will be.

I can only speak on APhiA in this case, as I've never heard of it happening in other orgs, but in the early days we absorbed a few local societies. Some were Greek letter, some were not.

How did that work? Did they each have to be accepted, pledge, etc? I'm taking "early days" to mean 1910's-1920's? (This is also why I said "I don't think", caz I knew someone would have an exception ).


I said I don't see it happening today because of how selective y'all are. I can't see a current D9 taking a look at a group of people and saying "Yeah, sure, let's just take them all...".
