I agree.. it's a pretty bold move. I can definitely respect their reasons for leaving. Most collegians have no idea who the NIC is. We do get a packet of information from them every year or so but really have not heard much other than that from them.
Sigma Nu has some excellent leadership programming available to undergrads in its LEAD program. I'm sure most other major national fraternities have something similar going on. It seems silly for the NIC to duplicate efforts like that.
I agree they should be advocates for the fraternity movement. I don't know what they've ever done, what they're doing or what they plan to do. I go to their website and their purpose is still unclear. I was fairly sure that there were certain rules that the NIC had that would apply to interactions between different NIC groups on various campuses but have never heard a rule come up.
It will be interesting how this all turns out.
