Plus on some campuses, SAI is pretty much exactly like a social except they don't participate in Panhel rush. What would most likely happen is the women in a chapter like this would stay in SAI, it would just change from being more social to being more of a professional/resume thing.
And as you said in your earlier post, you're absolutely right - we and the other groups joined later and had to go by the rules already in place. That doesn't mean that I don't sometimes wonder if it was the right decision.

I completely see your point. I'm sure the people in charge at the time felt that they couldn't compete without having some protections from chapters already in the NPC. Unfortunately, there were many overlapping memberships. Do you know if any members chose to keep their AES chapter membership over their NPC? There are a lot of advantages to NPC membership, but their are also HUGE restrictions. Definitely not a perfect system, but letting everyone join as a full member of NPC, no matter how few chapters you have, would not be feasible. If member organizations feel strongly about it, however, they could vote not to colonize non-NPC sororities existing chapters. I bet they wont, though!
