KBG and AOE would seem like potential choices to me but since the NPC rules are different than NIC (basically the male counterpart of NPC for you newbies out there) I don't know how that could happen. AOE has the right to take specific members based on professional aspiration but that goes in conflict with NPC rules against discrimination. I wouldn't plan on NPC changing their rules to accommodate that.

I think, if I remember from previous threads, that KBG is a true social sorority and would be the most logical addition, but AOE seems bigger to me and more able to take on the issues of scale that NPC membership would require. But remember, there are campuses all over the country where NPC and non-NPC sororities rush together. I think schools can (and do) require their local and smaller nationals to function under NPC or NPC-like rules to minimize hazing, discrimination, etc.

If they did work out something to bring AOE into the fold, SAI would probably fall into the same category. IF they wanted to, which is a pretty big if.

NPC limitation by major?

According to the Wikipedia page, Triangle Fraternity (which is part of the NIC)

"limiting its recruitment of members to male students majoring in engineering, architecture, and the physical, mathematical, biological, and computer sciences. It is the only member of the North-American Interfraternity Conference to limit its membership recruitment to these majors."

So a sorority which did the equivalent limitation would not be eligible for membership in the NPC?
