It isn't just frowned upon in the NPHC--that's a fact. I just typed from the standpoint of an NPHC member to illustrate why it is frowned upon for us.

I agree with your first point at the level of not considering other members from different chapters your brothers, but I think that valuing your own chapter as a special thing and being a little more devoted to it, particularly when you are an undergraduate member of an undergraduate chapter, is pretty normal for NPC or IFC groups. For a lot of us, the chapter IS the group for all practical purposes when you're an undergrad.
Sure, most of us love the national or international group as well and love meeting members of other chapters, but as an undergrad, your chapter is your home. ETA: it's when you're an alum that I think most of us start thinking about the international organization as a whole more than a particular chapter, I think.
