And this can go straight to where different "councils" function differently, so there's a danger in applying the standards of one's own "council" to other "council." So far as I know, Kappa Sig and Phi Delta Theta are always members of their campus IFC even when they're not members of the NIC, and it's no problem. Our chapters are members of IFC on those campuses where that works best for us and not on other campuses.
I've certainly never suggested that umbrella organizations do not have great benefit for their members and the Greek system in general. I was merely responding to the three specific examples you gave --puchasing insurance, owning houses and establishing relationships with universities -- in the statement of yours that I quoted.

I don't like being quoted and race-baited when nothing I said has anything to do with race. I have been talking exclusively about orgs that don't already have a council.

I don't see anywhere that anyone race-baited you or quoted you in a context related to race. But if that's what you perceive is happening, then just say so instead of dismissing someone else's "nonsense."
