I have to share that even 25 years ago...at the small, Southern, Baptist, liberal arts school that I attended...we had 4 NPC groups & 2 NPHC groups -- On the first day of NPC Rush, each of the NPHC groups made a presentation to all of the rushees. None of the groups were racially diverse, but we had a better understanding & sense of mutual respect which started, for me, from those presentations.

I think I understand some of the differences in the NPHC vs. NPC groups. I certainly have a great respect & admiration for the alumnae involvement of NPHCs -- all you have to do is look at the #s of women who attend their national meetings. If you've ever been in a hotel, like I was one time with an AKA meeting...you'd know what I mean. The show of unity & pride in their organization is amazing. (And these comments are coming from a Chi Omega who witnessed the largest gathering of any NPC group at our Convention this summer.)
