Correct. But remember, our rush process is very different. We scream from the mountain tops to "keep your options open" and to look at each sorority with equal importance. You are required to visit every chapter during formal rush and you are required to accept an invitation from each one through the process until the end. It's just not the same with fraternities. The rushees are told (in most cases) to rush a few of the available fraternities. So whereas NPC functions to a great extent to help each of its member sororities achieve parity on each campus, the NIC has no such goal. And I think this is why NPHC couldn't merge with NPC either. Aspirants are told (from what I can gather) to choose A sorority they want to join and work toward that membership. Even-steven isn't part of the protocol.

If anything, members will probably leave, not be added.

Really? What makes you say that? Are there members of the NPC that don't seem too happy with it?

By their actions, yes.

I'm confused by this. Care to elaborate?

Sorry, but this is a no spoonfeeding zone. Read over the expansion threads and think about it.

I am very interested in this...for some reason, it would seem crazy to split away from the NPC...but many of the member groupa did fine without the NPC.
So I would think that the NPC label jas certainly helped when a sorority is looking into expansion or if a group of ladies on a campus are looking for a national group that is social and non professional, cultural, etc they would probably find the list of NPC members more easily.
I don't know much about the inner workings of the NPC...how do you know which groups area acting in a such a way...like are they working against the NPC or something?
I'm curious...

As curious as I am about this, I checked out the expansion threads but haven't found anything about any groups suggesting they would want to leave. Perhaps groups that regularly choose not to participate in formal recruitment? I'm clueless.

33girl simply said that she could see a group leaving before one was added. That doesn't mean that any group has straight up said they might leave. As far as I know, no group is currently trying to join the NPC, either. This is just a "what if?" discussion.

which makes it sound like more than a "what if" discussion.

Yes, by their actions (or lack thereof). That doesn't mean a group has said that they're leaving, which is what I addressed.
In other words, if you search the expansion threads, you're not going to find anyone say, "I heard that ABC is thinking of leaving the NPC." It's much more subtle than that.
