Which is why I said "one of the reasons." Nationally, we currently allow initiation of members of other social fraternities, but not of other music fraternities. Chapters are mutually exclusive vis a vis other social fraternities if they have joined the IFC on their campuses, which many have done.

Mutual exclusivity is one of the issues that would have to be worked out if we were to seek NIC membership. There would other issues as well. Thus, the hefty dues were "one of the reasons."
