I'm pretty sure the smallest NPHC group absolutely dwarfs (dwarves?) the largest NPC group.

It is no coincidence that NPHC sororities are historically and predominantly Black and NPC sororities and fraternities are predominantly white. The membership intake formats of NPHC sororities were selected based on the specific needs of our organizations; and they have historical and present significance that is not completely separate from race, gender, and education level. That's why these are historically and predominantly Black college (and college educated alumnae) women's organizations.
It is wonderful that most of the NPHC fraternities are a part of the NIC because the NIC doesn't have rush/membership intake regulations. However, there is no guarantee that this would be the case even if an NPHC sorority was to change its membership intake format. Compatibility in this regard may not only be about rush/membership intake.
/Something being correlated with race does not mean there is exclusion and discrimination on the basis of race.
