Phi Sigma Kappa also withdrew from the NIC and helped form the FLA. We rejoined the NIC a couple years ago. I was at the annual congressional luncheon in 2006 and spoke to a some of our national "guests" (since they weren't really delegates anymore) and they noted that the NIC was lobbying for tax breaks in Greek Housing and that it was probably worth rejoining. One year later and Phi Sigma Kappa formed its very new "Properties" arm.
I was an undergraduate during our hiatus and we also had Kappa Sigma on campus. The whole thing had almost no perceivable impact on our two chapters except when a vote for expansion came up in the IFC. Normally chapters are obligated to say "yes" unless there's substantial reason not to and the pressure for that comes from the NIC. We felt no such pressure.
