They have a HIGH level of visibility in their communities due to their HIGH level of active involvment in/with their organizations and communities.
edit (because I hit the submit button too soon): Thus a large portion of the community outside of greeks or those that know greeks, both younger and older, tend to know more about the organizations even though they may have never stepped foot on a college campus.

That's why I put "market" in quotes. Several people had said they were aware of NPHC groups because of activities in high school and such. NPC groups may work with kids as part of their philanthropy, but it the focus is in a different area. I don't think that NPC groups would be allowed to have auxilary groups focused on high school students. Not outside of philanthropy I mean. I think a lot of it comes to the way we each look for new members. The structure of NPC pretty much prohibits that sort of in depth interaction with high schoolers, unless everyone did it. NPHC recruiting (at least as it seems to me) is focused on only one group instead of all of them.
I hope I make sense... I don't mean that any of the D9 are out there flaunting it to high school students, just that by their nature they have the ability to work more with them... or something.... yeah.
