Apples and oranges.
I also think its due to the fact that fraternities can (re)start a chapter when ever they want ... so you go off for a few years .. HQ will restart your chapter most likely as soon as possible. That's just not true with NPC .. first the campus has to open, then your group has to be selected to present, then it has to be selected to colonize. So no matter how much the alums and HQ want to reopen a chapter, it just aint goina happen unless you get lucky.

I know, my chapter has been closed for 10 years with no sign the campus will ever reopen.
