NPC's web page says:
By 1902, it was obvious that some standards were needed, so Alpha Phi invited Pi Beta Phi, Kappa Alpha Theta, Kappa Kappa Gamma, Delta Gamma, Gamma Phi Beta, Delta Delta Delta, Alpha Chi Omega and Chi Omega to a conference in Chicago on May 24. Alpha Chi Omega and Chi Omega were unable to attend. The remaining seven groups met and the session resulted in the organization of the first interfraternity association and the first intergroup organization on college campuses.
And since Pi Phi was founded in 1867, they certainly aren't the oldest NPC sorority either.

I think Pi Beta Phi was the first sorority to have greek letters. Alpha Delta Pi and Phi Mu were the first sororities, founded less than a year apart, but ADeePi's original name was the Adelphian Society and Phi Mu's original name was the Philomathean society.
