If you have the opportunity to have a national base with many chapters and alumnae, why not go the NPC/NPHC route?
From what I can tell on GC, locals get this question a lot. Unfortunately, a similar argument is used against the existence of any non-NPC/NIC organizations.

Different people are looking for different things and Greek Life offers a lot of options.

This reason is definitely something that would surprise a lot of people. You wouldn't necessarily think along these terms when you consider the resources and support available with a national organization. But, it's true.
