Since everyone seems to be concentrating on the NPC itself. Why then, there seems to be even a better arguement there in terms of antitrust, because HQs are incorporated and do act just like businesses providing lots of services. From what I understand, just because you are a not-for-profit corporation does not mean you are exempted from the antitrust laws. Anti trust has been applied to not-for-profit hospitals.
So taking the initially example and applying to the NPC itself (i.e., trade association): all 26 organizations (oligopoly) belong to a coalition call the NPC (national trade association) that has agreed to "non-compete" agreements (Unanimous Agreements), which when applied to and through local Panhels by local chapters and NPC recommendations for setting up and running a Panhel (vertical arrangements), essentially enable the strongest of the 26 organizations (oligopoy) to use these trade association agreements to continued dominance in the market (market power) and prevent new competitors (a new NPC sorority) into the market (campus).
Please GCs, who are attorneys, can you explain for us who do not understand these things?
