I think there's a difference between NPC and NPHC because it seems that NPC puts more of a focus on collegiate membership, whereas it seems that the NPHC emphasizes membership period. The collegiate membership focus makes sense when you consider that houses are (generally) part of the NPC tradition, but few NPHC chapters are housed. If you have multi-million dollar houses on college campuses, you have to keep them filled. In the NPC, it seems that you're tied to your specific house, whereas in the NPHC, your allegiance is to your entire organization. When you graduate and you leave that house, your ties are broken.

Still, I'm really gung-ho about alumnae initiation, and wish that those NPC groups that are open to the idea would promote it more.
