Also too think about it this way.
Some females might find that they long for sisterhood and to have a connection with other members but have been initiated into an NPC organization.
Some new members go to certain chapters for the wrong reasons (IE best friend was rushing that chapter, its the "best chapter on campus", mom was a member of that chapter, etc) because they did not examine what they needed as a person. Sometimes they realize that a year later. SO without being able to join the "right" NPC organization they form their own local.
I dont think that it is fishy. I think if we would ever be able to see their ritual it would look a lot like the ritual of their previous organization and that could be taken as a compliment.
