You're absolutely correct, Leslie Anne. Though we're the only NPC on campus, there are 3 local sororities, and one of those groups usually has a strong pledge class each Fall (they only rush in the Fall) and they also usually do very well during Greek Week. I'd say that they're definitely our biggest competitor.

And regarding the Alpha Gam chapter at Dalhousie, for those who didn't already know, the chapter is made up of women from Dalhousie University, Dal Tech, Saint Mary's University, The University of King's College, Mount Saint Vincent University, and the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design.

Are there any other NPCs who have chapters comprised of students from more than one school?

That's really interesting! I didn't even know that was possible. I'll be curious to hear about any others.

BTW, OTW, thanks for teaching me how to properly spell Hawai'i.

That's my chapter! I never could figure out why everyone at Conventions/RLCs thought it was so weird we were the only NPC on our campus, but now I see why. There are several locals on campus, as well as CERES, Sigma Alpha, and Sigma Alpha Iota, but it's not quite the same.
