It could have been a campus thing and in that case, as you stated, it would apply to all the NPHC chapters on your campus.

For example, Fisk still has the minimum university requirement of 30 credit hours, sophomore status for membership; and preferably a 4th semester sophomore. That is a university requirement. The NPHC orgs may set higher requirements but students can't go below the university's minimum of 30 hours even if the NPHC org (i.e. Delta) has a national semester credit hour requirement of 24. University trumps GLO requirement in this instance.

As far as I know, the NPHC hasn't, in the 1980s and beyond,had NPHC-wide policies regarding GPA and credit hours. Those were organization-specific except when based on campus policies. Someone please correct me if I am incorrect.
