Tell you what Rain Man, why don't you write a letter to:
Gwendolyn Boyd, National President
Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.
1707-09 New Hampshire Ave, NW
Washington, D.C. 20009
and ask since my answer was not sufficient. Do you question business corporations as to why they call themselves as they do? If you do, you have entirely too much time on your hands.

I won't even dignify that last question with an answer. I will say however that all too often when speaking with a NPHC member in casual conversation the "inc" is mentioned in a very arrogant tone, thus drawing my conclusion of "what's the point?" To further add insult to injury these same cocky individuals have had the audacity to say that Alpha Phi Omega (my frat) in not a real fraternity because it is not incorporated. If that means we don't use the inc every single time we say our name, then I guess we ain't real. BTW, we have been an incorporated entity since 1929 and have been reincorporated with the state of Missouri since Jan 29, 1968 based on our bylaws.
Again, to answer Kappagirl, NPC and NIC orgs do not use "inc" every single time the org is mentioned because in all likelihood it is probably seen as a superfluous addition to the name and unless official recogninition demands, not necessary.
End of story.
