I think that maybe the difference between the NIC and NPC is that once you initiate into one NPC, you cannot initiate into another ever, no matter the circumstance. With the NIC, some fraternities will bid men who have been "released" by another fraternity - even if they were initiated - and I can't imagine an NIC who wouldn't cut men loose under those circumstances.
But of course, the NIC also is of the belief that if the men work hard they can eventually get the members they need. They don't have to deal with quota, total, bid matching etc etc like the NPC groups do.
