NALFO/NPC

[SoCalGirl]

As has been mentioned already, the rule about not joining multiple NPCs was put into place to prevent NPC groups from stealing each others members.

Since that agreement did not include NPHC or NALFO or any other group the rule does not apply. It's not about respect, it's about agreements.

Aren't there other organizations that people pledge loyalty to, like Masons and OES, which don't eliminate people from membership eligibility? What's the difference?


eta: Just searched through some stuff on the sister side of our website. I'll say that membership in another GLO (non honorary or professional) is a gray area. Not going to expand on that at all.

I'm guessing because they aren't Sororities or Fraternities. The only reason why one of my sisters was allowed to pledge Beta by the nationals of the Multicultural national that she'd belongs to and is still active in as a collegiate,was because Beta wasn't considered to be a social sorority in their eyes. Every group has their own definition.

Someone might hit me for this, but the NPC UA about once you pledge one you can't ever pledge another, is less about harmony and love and more about realizing we all have weaker and stronger chapters and if we take advantage of something at School A, we can get bitten in the ass at School B.

I don't doubt that there are people out there who could commit to two "general" GLOs and treat them both completely equally in their heart and mind, and conduct themselves accordingly. I also don't doubt that there are people out there who tried this and did a horrible job. And in this world, unfortunately, we have to make rules based on the lowest common denominator.
