It depends on your ultimate goals and patience.

There are certain things that from this board I've percieved that only NPC groups do... like formal rush. Could be really beneficial.

Just remember that when a new group is added it usually will also increase the number of people going through rush.

On the other hand, NPC has its limitations as I've been able to figure out from reading these forums.. Very restrictive anti-hazing polices, other restrictive policies as well (at least from the perspective of a local that may not have had any policies of these types in place previously).

If they're not open now leadership tends to change every year.. So it's not an impossibility.
