Those are fair points, and I think if that's the basis of the issue between the two groups then the main issue is communication. I can't speak for all non-NPC organizations, but my own has very strict rules and regulations that do get enforced strictly by our headquarters. Hazing and any kind of behaviour that would represent us poorly has serious consequences. Additionally, we prioritize sisterhood events and philanthropy above socials with fraternities. We keep our Rush events separate from Fratland. So if those are the reasons, then it is frustrating to be told we do not deserve to call ourselves a sorority when the basis of that hate is unfounded. However, while some other NPC sororities do incorporate those elements into their events, it has to be understood that it primarily comes from Fraternities being much more open and willing to work with us than NPC sororities. We often do not have houses, and so bars and frats become the easiest places to hold events. In shutting us out, the behaviour that seems to be despised so much is perpetuated. By hosting events exclusive to NPC sororities, a hostile environment is created and you are unable to see our internal sisterhood. If we could have a more open discourse without resorting to name-calling on either end, we would likely improve the Greek experience for all involved and the Greek community in general. Instead of having animosity between the two types of organizations, perhaps we can work towards improving each other? What I gather from this conversation so far, NPC sororities are upset with being misrepresented by non-NPC sororities due to a lack of apparent discipline and an over-reliance on Fraternities. Whereas non-NPC sororities simply want to be included more, and eliminate the feeling of condescension from NPC sororities. This seems like it can be a civil discussion and solution, maybe the Panhel Council can address this?
