But the whole social/service element of NPHC orgs is another discussion in itself.

I think you can safely say that all of the D9 are "service oriented" without claiming to be service organizations. It's all in the semantics. We describe ourselves (see our website) as social and service since being about service since the beginning and being founded as a professional org initially, not a social one, but we don't claim to be a service organization in the way that Gamma Sigma Sigma is for example.
Bottom line, this show was targeted to our audience and being D9 exclusively at first, as demonstrated by Sprite advertising. It wasn't until later that people started realizing that it wasn't just NPHC. Even now, some folks who haven't been following closely are shocked to find out that it wasn't just a D9 production.
