But I also have to wonder…. If the acceptance of LDL into the local Panhellenic council does not have any implications over how NPC sororities recruit or operate their own chapters, why would the existing Panhellenic members oppose it?

My understanding is that the term sorority was coined to mean a 'fraternity for women', and if so, then by definition the term sorority implies a fraternal group of women. As in people with two (2) X chromosomes.
My only guess as to why the existing Panhelleninc may oppose it would be due to "guilt by association". If the current NPC chapters do not identify themselves as LDL does, then the NPC chapters may not want to have any association whatsoever with LDL.
