The NPHC groups seem to have more distinct national identities. The other groups, as one poster put it (I'm sorry, I can't seem to find the post again, and I'm paraphrasing here) seem like essentially all the same thing just with slightly different rituals and colors, and there's a lot of variety from school to school. Are there national identities for the NPC sororities that I just don't see, not being part of those groups, or is it something that is just not seen as really desirable with NPC?
This is probably coming off sounding condescending again ... I am really not trying to be, I just don't know how better to phrase what I'm trying to ask.

I think everyone has answered your original question to the best of his / her ability. I get the feeling you are fishing for a specific answer. What do you want to hear? Do you want someone to come on here and say 'Yeah, those NPCs just don't have it together like the NPHC's.' What type of judgement are you trying to achieve?
Maybe you need to try to understand why you see what you see. Are you looking at NPHCs harder? Do you have some issue with NPCs?
I don't think you are going to get the answer you are looking for because I don't know of many people, at least on GC, who are a member of both an NPHC org and a NPC org, who could give you the answers that you are looking for. I can only give an answer from a NPHC perspective. An NPCer can give her answer from her perspective, and both answers may still not give you the answer you are looking for. Again, you are trying to compare two (2) different systems.
