Thus, there is much less issues dealing with transfer brothers/sister in an NPHC org than with a NIC/NPC org.

Sort of correct and maybe I am reading your post wrong. It is true that we NPHC members affiliate ourselves with our National bodies and continue to identify with our organizations upon transferring to other schools or graduating.
However, it is important to note that the majority of us do remain very attached (to varying degrees) and loyal (to varying degrees) to our chapters of initiation (through ongoing ties with older and younger chapter members, etc.), eventhough we are no longer financial members of the chapter and regular participants in all of the programs. This is sometimes discouraged, but continues to be the case (depending upon the dynamics of the chapter).
