These women didn't know going in that KBG was unable to provide these.

I’ve said it before, regardless of whether or not you agree with the process, they followed the rules.

I agree that most women will look at the current chapter membership, but being 18-20 yr olds, it also occurs to most women I know that rush to do some homework.

By the looks of KBG website, it's a little bit obvious what you'd be getting into. The org has only a handful of active chapters and "over one thousand" known alums.

1000 vs. the 140,000 or so that Chi O for example might have is a pretty big difference and would tell me that KBG probably does not have the kind of resources that an NPC would.

33girl - I realize that the girls at the time of KBG's founding there didn't have options, but by the looks of what you & others have said about the situation, it looks like they just chose KBG until something better could come along that went with the school's rules.

For those that asked, I am not familiar at all with the ADPi chapter that was a KBG chapter at one time... and even though it is my own sorority, I can't say that I am going to suddenly agree with it, because I still don't think it's right.

Like Senusret says, stuff like this opens up all kinds of cans of worms. i.e. what if there were an all-female chapter of a professional/philanthropic org that suddenly decided they wanted to be NPC? It's not fair for the organizations that are being absorbed.

I think one of the only reasons some people are OK with this is because NPC has rules that you can't be initated into two NPC groups so it's impossible for a chapter of a smaller NPC to decide they want to join a bigger NPC because they have "more resources".
