Yep. It's my understanding that's one of the reasons (though not the only one) that we haven't sought membership in the NIC. With 242 active chapters (as of the last count I have), we'd be one of the largest fraternities in the NIC (chapter-wise, though not collegiate member-wise, as our chapters tend to be smaller) and the cost would be very high.

I'm curious to see if either group looks to come back to the NIC now that it seems they're balancing their focus (i.e. being more vocal advocates for open expansion and in opposition to deferred recruitment).
If you look back over the history of the NIC, there's actually quite a bit of fraternities withdrawing and (usually) coming back eventually.
