Why are NPC groups not allowed?

I don't know why but I do know a NPC sorority recently closed due to low membership.

OK, good to know. I am not familiar with this campus at all. It just sounded strange. Kind of like, "We want sororities...but not those sororities."

Quincy University
Quincy, IL
September
Campus Total=40
****************
Theta Phi Alpha Psi 1954-1960
Phi Sigma Sigma Iota Beta 1998 (21)
Alpha Omicron Pi Epsilon Sigma 1999

I am not sure Phi Sig is active and welcomed 21 pledges. Phi Sig is not mentioned in the article below dated 8/14/2022. Phi Sig is not listed on the QU greek life website too.

"The university is adding a new men’s fraternity called Iota Phi Theta. Iota Phi Theta is a member of the Pan-Hellenic Council, which is composed of historically African-American fraternities and sororities. Delta Tau Delta is the other fraternity on campus.

Sigma Phi Eta is being added as a new women’s sorority. Alpha Omicron Pi is the other sorority on campus."

Well, that's interesting. There is a newspaper mention of Phi Sigma Sigma getting a new on-campus house in January 2022. (https://qumedia.net/2022/02/25/a-new...new-beginings/)

However, the chapter no longer appears on the Quincy University Greek Life page (goes to 404 not found) nor does the chapter appear on the national PSS website.

And here's their official instagram! Funny enough I mentioned how huge the pledge classes were this past fall and was wondering if they'd bring a new house to campus.

Interesting that both would have been bringing old chapters back. Good luck to Alpha Gam!

The University of Dayton FSL Community is currently seeking candidates for expansion in the Interfraternity Council (NIC and other inter/national men's fraternities), Multicultural Greek Council (NALFO, NMGC, NAPA), and National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC).

I doubt it's anything nefarious. It's not that NPCs are "not allowed", it's probably that the university simply wants to expand opportunities in the other categories.

Pi Kappa Phi will be closing at Case Western Reserve University(OH) due to low membership numbers. The above is a good article that discusses what I like to call the "death spiral" of a chapter struggling with numbers and recruitment.

This is what happened to our chapter at CWRU. We were recolonized in the early 2000s, had a 70+ chapter size and won many awards , including our best chapter (Maxwell Award). Then around 2010 there was a huge greek expansion at CWRU. Many fraternities and a few new sororities were added. Decrease interest in Greek life started to occur. Our membership began to decrease each year, we could not recruit new members, until we had 9 members by 2019. The chapter eventually closed after covid hit. I will be honest, the chapter alumni were not happy with the quality of men recruited and gave up/distanced themselves from the chapter at the end.

This is great, as the new member classes have been huge. Does anyone know the housing plan? When UTK built their Sorority Village about a decade ago, there was no allowance for expansion. So, either AGD will be unhoused, or located outside of sorority village, or there will have to be a parking structure(s) built were surface parking is now to allow to a new chapter house to be built. This could get expensive.
