The NPHC is an advisory organization, not a regulatory one--each individual organization within the NPHC is allowed to determine its own rules and regulations relative to its individual needs. Therefore, an organization like Delta Sigma Theta can have a rule prohibiting NPC membership, and others may not have the same rule. I "believe" that a person cannot hold dual membership in any NPHC organization, nor can you "depledge" an NPHC org and then join another NPHC group (ever), but I think even that is an individual organization's decision--there's nothing yay or nay in the NPHC C&BL.
On a Zeta Phi Beta level, understand that even though Zeta has no national rule prohibiting a person who had non-NPHC sorority membership from joining Zeta, it really is up to the individual chapters to decide for their particular campus--there are many chapters I know of that would rank this person pretty low on the scale. Obviously, this chapter saw something in this woman that would make her a quality Zeta woman--hopefully she is deserving of their decision.
