Do the interest groups want to affiliate with Panhellenic as local sororities or affiliate with an NPC sorority (and with Panhellenic)?

Our PHC is actually ONLY NPC groups; our campus does not permit local sororities. So technically speaking, they are the NPC reps from each org. From what I understand, each rep brought it to their orgs, they took a vote and the outcome of the vote reflected the reps' decisions. One chapter actually contacted their national office, and they told them they had to vote no.

The groups would be NPC orgs and would not be allowed to continue with the process of becoming a local should NPC expansion not happen.

In the opinion of two orgs, we do not *need* expansion. Orgs have consistently had trouble reaching total, and quota does not call for another organization.



From what has been hinted to us, it is that no matter what our vote turned out to be, the Director of Student Activities has the final say. If we voted no, she could very well override it and say yes. It's a little discouraging to say it's up to us, and then someone else [who is not at all active in the Greek department] makes their own decision. Although our NPC adviser mentioned that if the orgs selected to present were made aware of this, they would side with the decision of NPC. Not sure about that, anyone know?
