The real issue is that we aren't the NIC so why even bring that up? I believe you have already read OUR criteria, so what's your point?
The point is if an org is good enough to join NIC, what makes NPHC so special that an org wants to jump through hoops and join NPHC? If the NIC is a good council to affiliate with, what makes NPHC a great one, or is that merely a perceived "illusion of inclusion"?
Are you petitioning for APO to be accepted in the NPHC, or something? Geesh. 
National Bylaws prohibit APO from affiliating with any interfraternity councils unless local campus policies require such affiliation in order to keep their charter.
