NPC sororities and other national sororities

[SWTXBelle]

It only makes sense in reference to the item quoted above it, and even then I am afraid that all of the "nots" and "non-NPC" do make it less than clear. Sorry about that.
To try and condense my point - the NPC groups make unanimous agreements which protect the interests of their members. (As do most groups - it's to be expected.) It is a bit of a stretch to ask the NPC to do anything other than police itself - and to do so with anything other than its best interests in mind.
I believe the definition of a national sorority currently being used by the NPC is too broad. With so many groups being formed left and right, and with any one with more than two groups being able to call itself national, the waters are muddied in a way they were not, say, 20 years ago.
And I wanted to know if any non-NPC sorority has any rules that prohibit offering membership to NPC or other sorority members.

True that - and it should probably be talked out and agreed upon ASAP.

As for your second question - are you including NHPC?

Sorry - no, not including NPHC.

And let me remind my NPC sisters that the NPC is not some giant separate organization. We all have a voice through our representatives, and if there is an issue you feel is important you should address it through your org. and NPC rep.

Exactly! To say the the NPC should not do this or should not do that is ludicrous. They can and will ONLY enforce the unanimous agreements. To bash the NPC for recent events involving KBG is just a roundabout way of saying that KD and KKG shouldn't have absorbed those KBG chapters. It's up to the individual NPC organization to decide whether or not it is appropriate to absorb a "national" sorority chapter. If NPC were to decide that we cannot absorb these chapters, then they would have to have a "unanimous" agreement...somehow I doubt that Kappa Delta and Kappa Kappa Gamma would turn on their new sisters and agree to such a change. I'm sure that no NPC organization is gunning to take out any of these small national groups. Each of the recent cases was different, and we likely know little of what actually went on during the decision making process. May I also remind you that KD and KKG were not likely the ONLY NPC organizations to have presented to these chapters for expansion!
