Thanks, Rainman. You have posted a lot of good information.
You have demonstrated that the overwhelming majority of now defunct NIC/IFC fraternities (please correct me on the conference if I am incorrect) either merged or dissolved due to weak organization or specifically an external event (like War) which IMHO demonstrates a weak organization. I don't know whether the information on the sororities will demonstrate a similar pattern or not.
As for fledgling or now defunct HBGLOs, there are many smaller non-NPHCs now and in the past. I think the original topic was specifically asking whether there are orgs out there who can meet the stringent organizational criteria for joining the NPHC. Pulling out information on orgs who could never meet this criteria further demonstrates WHY this policy has been put in place.
I have Black Greek 101 at home; the last time I read it, I do recall several pages, I think a whole chapter, about other HBGLOs past and present.

Mccoyred, I find your post interesting, but I want to reserve comment until I finish my research. I am only about 2/3 of the way done with the fraternities and I haven't even touched the sororities (though their listing isn't nearly as big as the fraternities, thank goodness--I have been researching like crazy).
Just wanted to acknowledge your post and that I read it. Stay tuned...
