Recruitment styles, housing (yes, I know that a few NPHC chapters are housed), and the NPC's emphasis on women are three much more important factors that make the councils incompatible.
With the NIC, it makes more sense for the men's groups to share one umbrella because there's less emphasis on uniformity in recruitment, among other things, than there is for the NPC.

Okay, let's say 98% about race.
To be blunt, I really don't see those Black members who were around before integration and during the Civil Rights Era wanting to subject themselves to a white persons way of doing things.
