Legacy Policy

I remember walking away from it thinking that a woman could still be an XYZ later if she (and her relative) wanted, if the local chapter released her or if there was no chapter on campus.

That's pretty much like peeing all over the concept of being Panhellenic. It's also not very thoughtful of the PNM in question - i.e. it's more important for her to be an XYZ and denied the college experience than it is for her to possibly find a home with another group.

Until the NPC alumnae experience is as similar across the board as the NPC college experience, and until alumnae initiation for all 26 groups is practiced in a like manner, this way of thinking, to me, is absolutely dreadful.

The only charitable reading I can come up with is if you attend a school without NPC groups...i.e. reading the "local undergraduate experience" as the choice of University.

But if that's her choice....

That was listed, too.
