This topic has been addressed before, as OohTeenyWahine has indicated. However, the net is that the emphasis on incorporation stems from the history of BGLOs within the NPHC. As Showstopper1908 mentioned, there have been events that occurred in the histories of different NPHC BLGOs that have/ could have fundementally altered the existance and operation of said organziations based upon its incorporation status or lack thereof. Therefore, it's more an internal thing from NPHC member to NPHC member than it is anything else.

Regarding the service and band GLOs on historically black campuses that emphasize the incorporation status...I can only guess why they do it, as I'm not a member. Certainly it is probably not for the same reason that members of the NPHC state ours.
