Hilton,
You said: "I think if they were to risk deviating from rituals, rules, regulations, etc., they would likely have their charter revoked."
Exactly my point. When you change things vital to the Sorority, without the general consent of the main body, you fail to be a part of the main body, as AKAtude mentiond earlier.
*****
As far as the incorporation thing, I don't know what else you want to know. The reasons stated are why companies/organizations incorporate.
Are you asking why the letters "Inc" themselves are necessary? If you are, the answer is because it's required.
An incorporated entity's name has to have a suffix. It's either "Inc." or "Incorporated" or "CORP" or "LLC" or "PA" or "PC" depending on what the company chooses. It is part of the corporation's legal name. (I'm glad to see my business degree is not completely going to waste
)
