Not sure how accurate this is, but I like the company we keep!

I don't recall the name of the thread, but once we were asked to name the NPC group we respected most, other than our own. I believe I chose Kappa Kappa Gamma!

It is more than you think, and only affects the GLOs there. I can tell you that many of KKG's closed chapters are at institutions that ceased to recognize Greek Life, or the institution ceased to exist. Many KKG/KAT closures happened before other sororities were even founded.

Why is it that 99% of your posts come off as completely arrogant?

If you happened to know which campuses this happened at I will update the numbers. I took the information from the recruitment threads and it does not state why the chapter closed, only that it closed.

It's arrogant that I respect Kappa? Okay.

99% of my 5,000+ posts. Really?

I think the point is that there's no perfect metric. Nor would it necessarily skew one way or the other, but it's a lot more difficult to filter through those posts for schools that banned Greek Life (and determining whether those chapters closed prior to the banning or at the banning) than it is to run a strict %. If you want to, go ahead.

Because she is, as far as anyone can tell.

And yes, 99% of your 5,000+ posts are arrogant is hyperbolically accurate, but still accurate.

I knew once those stats were posted you'd be in here crowing.

Listen, Kappa is great. So is Chi O, and Delta Gamma. As are the other 24 NPC sororities. As are countless sororities from other councils or no council. The issue isn't that you like Kappa, it's that you're arrogant, and it seeps out of many of your posts like puss from a wound.

Would you have "liked the company" you keep had it been Zeta Tau Alpha? What about Gamma Phi Beta? What about Alpha Delta Pi? What about Alpha Omicron Pi? What about Sigma Delta Tau? What does it mean to "like the company?"

I remember seeing you complain about how people are mean or dismissive toward your posts. This is why.

But that thread only includes schools where recruitment happens now, right? So it doesn't include any schools that banned Greek life (resulting in closed chapters) or chapters that closed at schools where Greek life was later banned before 2000 or so, right?

This thread does include those schools, I guess I can assume when a school such as

Judson University Marion, AL
Kappa Delta Rho Omega Phi 1904-1919
Zeta Tau Alpha Beta New 1905-1919
Alpha Delta Pi Kappa 1910-1919
Delta Delta Delta Delta Theta 1913-1919

has all the chapters close at the same time that they were banned.

I call it pride. You call it arrogance.

Wow, I didn't think that I was going to start this much drama.

The point is not to nit-pick to death the numbers, but for orgs to colonize on the right campuses and support the chapters they do have, rather than throwing a ton of stuff at the wall in an attempt to be the biggest.

I agree with this statement.

As the great philosopher Beyonce would say "some call it arrogance, I call it confidence...you got a big egoooooooooo....."

WARNING: OUTSIDER TYPING

As an uninformed outsider who doesn't consider any of this dramatic (back and forth for entertainment purposes isn't the same as serious and dramatic convo), I now see how some non-NPHCers may feel when they read the occasional "who has the most members"/"we don't need a lot of members---quality over quantity"/"what's the best NPHC sorority and fraternity" rants. Gag me with a spooo-oooon.

But, I also think most of this is tongue in cheek, right? Does the aggregate (beyond some individuals) really take this seriously?
