Most of the campus activities our groups hold are packed. We are able to be more flexible and creative with the activities we want to have as well. I mean, coming out for a game of flag football or kickball would be one thing, but to spend months preparing for a co-ed ultimate frisbee competition along with a gymnastics/dance/lip sync hybrid that only means something to a very small percentage of the student body just seems exhausting.

But that is just an account of my school. Other greeks at other schools do things a lot differently. Honestly, it's nothing personal. It's more like the planning of those "greek week" type activities is terrible on my campus. When a bunch of NPC/IFC members complain how they would rather be somewhere else than at some of those practices and functions, it's hard to really be inspired to make an obligation.
NPHC organizations are generally paired with NPC and NIC groups and our LGLO's for Greek Week, homecoming, etc. By paired, I mean that generally, a team will consist of an NIC, and NPC, and an NPHC or LGLO.

-- or at least that's what I think I saw at the homecoming parade.
