The NPHC orgs consider ourselves to be service organizations first and foremost, with a social aspect.
As far as the rush concept, I can only speculate that it has more to do with historical reasons versus anything technical like quotas, totals and having a house.
Also, I think that the idea of NPHC sororities joining the NPC would be rejected. For the NPHC, it is not just joining a sorority per se, it is seen as becoming part of a legacy in an org that has very strong family traditions, and in some cases, expectations. I think the nature and structure of the NPHC sororities is so ingrained and is such a major part in AfAm society, that I don't see it changing or even wanting to change.
This is just my opinion, and any other NPHCer can correct me, or weigh in if they want to.
