They are associate members of my schools panhellenic council, but the chapter here is so small they almost never come to meetings.

They have their own meetings during the same time as PC meetings and they don't have a girl to spare to drop by unfortunately.

I don't think they will apply for membership mainly for the expansion policies that NPC has and they are likely associate Panhellenic members on most campuses if they affiliate w/ the NPC at all.

Regarding ASUSADPi's question - weren't there some NPC sororities that ended up getting absorbed by other NPC sororities (a super long time ago at least).

Yes, there's a whole thread about it somewhere.

I wonder if they will apply for NPC membership?

I think that number of chapters is meaningless if their chapters are not as large as the NPC groups on the campuses where they have chapters. I believe the chapter at my alma mater was smaller than the NPC groups by design, and would not have fit into the quota/total system at all, though they were an associate member of the CPH.

Seeing how Sigma Lambda Gamma is a member of NALFO, I would say no.

Briana - Kappa Beta Gamma used to be a member of NPC but their number of chapters dropped to the point that they had to drop out. They were Catholic based when they were founded but like TPA, they now accept women of all faiths. They are trying to re-enter the NPC.

that's what i was thinking - at 88 chapters (whatever the # is) they'd have to be part of some governing council.

wouldnt being part of NALFO work counter to being part of NPC, as far as which rules to follow and what not? i guess that is sorority-specific, because fraternities can be part of 2 councils without issue, right? (only example i can recall is Alpha Phi Alpha being part of NPHC/NIC)

Isn't Kappa Alpha Psi and Iota Phi Theta also members of the NIC? I think the difference is that NIC is different than NPC in that NPC orgs have all agreed to run membership recruitment within a specific system, while NIC hasn't (please correct me if I'm wrong NPC'ers). So given that Sigma Lambda Gamma's recruitment style is more similar to NPHC orgs, it would probably be difficult to switch to a different style if they became members of NPC.

Lambda Sigma Upsilon, Lambda Theta Phi, Phi Iota Alpha, and Sigma Lambda Beta fraternities are all members of the NIC as well as the NALFO. Why couldn't a sorority be a member of both councils (NPC and NALFO) if so allowed?

Did not realize this as it used to take 15 years to become a member of NIC.

Times must have changed, but I am in no way knowledgeable about NPC!

It usually takes a long time to get into any National Governing Body.

What was the last Sorority that was accepted in NPC?
