I know that KBG nationally is working hard to expand and I'm sure that members of KBG (at WF or in any other chapter) don't appreciate being referred to as a local. I understand that for most people on this board, NPC is the main frame of reference, and that's fine--but let's not de-legitimize other national sororities.

As one of the ones who made a gaffe (while actually TRYING to say the right thing - see below), I sincerely apologize.
Since KBG's chapters are clustered in the NE and upper midwest (seems from their website, anyway) I've honestly never heard of them until this thread. I've heard of dozens of non-NPC groups (that are still national) but this one has escaped me until now. Since WFU was founded with locals (that then were absorbed by NPC groups) it "felt" like KBG should be a local. Does that make sense?

I should have said "Non-NPC" and yet I was trying to say it right.

My hunch is that Carnation's comment was in the same vein as mine.
