It must be strange to be the only NPC at your campus! Unless there are other locals or non-NPCs that help bridge the gap.
I'm guessing ihearttrisigma went to Ursinus College. I know Tri Sigma is the only NPC on that campus but there are several local sororities, too. Didn't mean to "out" the poster or anything, but I live only a few miles from Ursinus so it leaped (leapt?) out at me.

I live near Ursinus too!
I've always wondered why they have 1 NPC and the rest are locals.

I have no problem confirming that I went to Ursinus. There is only 1 NPC for the simple reason that Ursinus is a small school and the locals are very very old. The oldest greek organization was formed in 1907, with a majority of them being between 100 to 70 years of age. They have formed their own traditions and feel there is no need to become National. The college has not demanded them to go national, and I can assure you that alumni would not donate if their local organizations were forced to go national. I was a charter sister in 2002 who brought Tri Sigma to UC and it has been a tough but rewarding road. FWIW, there are also 2 National Fraternities on campus, Sigma Pi and Phi Kappa Sigma.

I actually saw 2 of your sisters today in Collegeville sporting their letters!

YAY! They make me very proud! If you have any other questions regarding Ursinus greeks just PM me.
Side note, I love that area. I grew up 20 mins from the school and it is just a fantastic place to live. I miss it dearly. Plus it has just exploded in growth. When I started school in 2000 it was pretty rural over there, but now - holy cow, its a mini-city!

Tell me about it - the township we're in is pretty much the last bastion of ruralness in the area. We even struck down a proposal to build a Wawa few years back b/c of the traffic nightmare it might have created.
One of my pledge brothers depledged because he said he'd lost more friends than he'd gained by going Greek. Maybe not a dumb reason per se but IMO people who end friendships over your affiliations aren't particularly good friends to begin with.
Shame he dropped too, he was a cool guy.
